Odissi Dance is a highly sculpturesque and devotional classical dance from India. Originally performed inside of the temples, this sacred art expresses the emotions of the heart and the ways one can revere Nature and the supernatural. The shapes of this art form are embellished with power and grace.

Odissi is divided into two aspects: Nritta (pure dance) or expressive movement and rhythm and Nritya (story telling).

In this workshop you will learn some of the main hand gestures (Hastas) and feet positions (Padas) of this astonishing traditional dance, plus small devotional dances choreographed by Nubia for you to experience a more reverencial way of moving your body as prayer.

This workshop is for all levels, total beginners and experienced dancers and you can dress with any comfortable yoga or dance clothes (barefoot).
