‘Descendants Remix Dance Party’ Preview
Coming off the hit trilogy of movies about the offspring of famous Disney villains, the Descendants Remix Dance Party is a musical event on the Disney Channel that your kids won’t want to miss. Hosted by Broadway and American Horror Story star Cheyenne Jackson as Hades from Descendants 3, this “high-energy immersive dance party” will feature a host of Disney Channel stars performing reimagined hits from the Descendants movies.
In an Instagram post about the special, Jackson writes, “Get your kiddos moving and grooving and tire them out! xo Hades.” He also posted a photo from the set when they shot Descendants 3 and said that he used David Bowie from Labyrinth as inspiration for his performance as Hades.
Co-starring with Jackson are Sofia Wylie and Dara Renee of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and Kylie Cantrall of Gabby Duran & The Unsittables. The quartet will perform everyone’s favorite Descendants songs, including “Set It Off,” “Night Falls,” “Chillin’ Like a Villain” and “What’s My Name.” Five-year-old rapping breakout star ZaZa will also make a special appearance during “What’s My Name.”
The high-energy songs will also feature choreography by the Emmy-winning duo NappyTabs (Tabitha and Napoleon D’umo of So You Think You Can Dance fame). This marks NappyTabs’ third collaboration with the Disney Channel for a musical event.
To get ready for the dance party, check out Disney’s Descendants dance tutorials on YouTube. In this one, Dove Cameron (Mal) breaks down the moves for “Good to Be Bad,” “Break This Down,” “Night Falls” and more songs.
“I’m hanging out with my awesome choreographers here, Janelle and Wildebeast. This music video was so, so, so much fun to shoot, so I asked them to teach you some of the moves,” says Cameron, turning things over to the choreographers.
There is also a feature with Sofia Carson (Evie) going to Brazil with UNICEF to work with young women who are trying to make a difference in their country. “Please join me in continuing to empower young women and young girls any way you can. Take action. It starts with you!” says Carson.
