Welcome to the inspiring world of Odissi classical Indian dance. This introductory course breaks down foundational techniques including basic bhangi (postures), mudra and pada (foot positions). Odissi dance is embedded in the rich cultural climate of the East Indian state of Orissa and woven into a dance and regional history that stretched back millennia. We will explore aspects of history and culture through lectures, the dance and the repertoire itself.
