Step into the enchanting world of Odissi! Alongside Bharata-Natyam from the South and Kathak from the North, Odissi shines with the elegance of the East, rooted in the state of Odisha. This graceful and fluid style blends rhythmic footwork with delicate torso and head movements, mudras (hand gestures), the expression of emotions and poetic storytelling.
Our Odissi dance classes
Classes are taught by Nathalie Pieltain (Bhumika Movement) and divided into several parts:
- the greeting (Bhumi Pranam)
- warming-up and preparatory exercises that are characteristic of the Odissi dance
- learning basic positions: chauka and tribhangis
- study of the technical vocabulary: positions of the feet (pada bedas), gesture of the hands (hasta mudras)
- learning a choreography from the Odissi repertoire (presented at the biennial show)
