Just Dance invites you to its second annual celebration of Holi, the ancient Indian festival of colors that symbolizes the arrival of spring, the victory of good over evil, and the joy of love and friendship. To honor this beautiful March tradition, the evening will feature new music ranging from the more traditional Bhangra, to the wild and infectious Indian percussions, to the hypnotic Sanskrit infused music, as well as the many contemporary and powerful sounds of Indian music.
While the two Just Dance co-resident DJs delight in inviting many talented guest DJs to share the decks for an evening, they also relish the experience of going solo as having a 3-hour musical arc gives them more freedom of creativity and expression.
DJ Abheeru will be on the decks for the entire dance. He will showcase the rich cultural heritage of India and also share deep, grooving and tribal sounds infused and inspired by the diverse musical traditions around the world. He will be selecting cuts from a palette of fresh global music and intuitively weave a unique full evening set for your dance odyssey.
Be prepared to experience a broad spectrum of tempo, rhythm and intensity in the sonic fabric. Expect to hear extravagant and exotic sounds from every continent, fused with hip-shakin' basslines and solid beats - a perfect synthesis of the traditional and contemporary.
To deepen our Holi theme, Just Dance is once again delighted to welcome Navin Sahjpaull who will facilitate a Sound Bath at the beginning of the night. He will contribute to the flavours of India with exquisite instrumentation and by singing in the ancient language of the Indian subcontinent: Sanskrit.
Just Dance resident VJ Kashub will also add to this vivid celebration with lush, radiant and endlessly colorful visuals that will be crafting live to enhance our dancing delights.
Please consider supporting Just Dance by sharing this event with your friends and community.
Let the colors of the Holi festival paint your evening with joy!
See you on the dance floor!
