Classical Dance

Curriculum Overview

Our Odissi dance classes focus on grace, rhythm, and clear storytelling. We start with simple footwork and hand gestures, moving step-by-step toward traditional items while helping you build both physical confidence and artistic expression.

Stages of Learning

• Prarambhik Part I & II(PPI & PPII):
This starting level introduces beginners to the essential foundations of Odissi dance. Students learn basic body postures like Chouka and Tribhangi, primary footwork in simple rhythms(taal), and hand gestures( hasta mudra).
• Bhusan (1st, 2nd and 3rd year):
This intermediate stage brings more depth and technical variety. Complex rhythmic patterns and two out of five parts of odissi dance which are Batu and Pallavi are introduced.
• Visharad I & II(4th and 5th year):
This advanced level focuses on achieving true artistic mastery. It involves deep study of emotional expressions (Abhinaya) across various Bhabas and Rasas, complex classical items, Loka nrutya(folk dance) and dance-drama compositions.
