Odissi classical indian dance

Sept 12 / Sept 15 / Oct 3 / Oct 7
8-9:30 pm (greek time)

Odissi is one of the classical Indian dances known for it’s intricate percussive footwork juxtaposed with the languorous postures. Layer upon layer is coordinated and stories are told through rich symbolic gesture.

This class series is for students who are brand new to Odissi or interested in solidifying a strong classical dance foundation. While everyone is welcomed, please keep in mind a certain level of fitness is required for even the basic stances of Odissi.

Each class will start with dance conditioning exercises, then introduce some of our fundamental steps in the two main postures: Chowka & Tribhangi as well as spotlighting unque techniques of the ‘Odissi Pathfinder’ such as:

- - - Mudra
    - Bhramari (turns)
    - Odissi Chāri (walks) and Utplavana (Jumps)
    - Arasa (compositions) in Tribhangi & Chowka

Price: $88

Fall online class series

Indian Fusion,

Odissi Classical,

Intentional Dance Flow

& Indian Aesthetic Theory on Expression!

September & October 2024

This special Fall Online Class Series I am offering will advance your dance skills and develop your range of expression. Expand your emotional palette through graceful embodiment practices from thoughtful fusions, to deeply rooted traditional dance and ‘in the moment’ creation states.

Dance and yoga being one and the same, view the body as a multi layered site of performance – performing intentions that effect multiple layers of the self simultaneously. Dance can be fun, technically challenging, relaxing and vigorous all at once while achieving both personal and stylistic goals. I view dance as a holistic experience and my classes aim to touch the layers of our being, at once inspiring healing, while not shying away from rigor and technique.

Practice profound self empowering technologies that use the body as a means of transcendence, while also enjoying the beauty of our own body in union with the music.

There are classes for all levels of experience and recordings are available for the whole series so you are welcome to join from anywhere, at any time!
