Description

“Odissi or Orissi is one of the pre-eminent classical dance forms of India which originated in the Hindu temples of the eastern coastal state of Odisha in India. Its theoretical base trace back to ‘Natya Shastra’, the ancient Sanskrit Hindu text on the performing arts. Age-old tradition of Odissi is manifested from Odisha Hindu temples and various sites of archaeological significance that are associated with Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism, the sculptures of which adorn dance postures of this art form. A form of illustrative anecdote of mythical and religious stories, devotional poems and spiritual ideas emoted by dancer with excellent body movements, expressions, impressive gestures and sign languages, its performance repertoire includes invocation, nrita, nritya, natya, and moksha. This dance form includes themes from Vaishnavism and others associated with Hindu gods and goddesses like Shiva, Surya and Shakti.”

In the Odissi Dance Classes, I intend to bring the tradition as it was taught to me by my Master Silvana Duarte, with whom I have the honor and pleasure to keep deepening my studies. This Art form is so full of mystery and magic that the only way to truly understand it is practicing. Come dive with me and experience in your body what is the purest nectar of dance.

Classes fit for beginners with/without experience in this or other dance forms. The experience of an Odissi dance practice is inexplicable.

Here’s a video demonstration of the beauty and devotion of this dance style.
