INTENSIVES & WORKSHOPS

Odissi Basics Intensive

with Misha Talapatra

Class will meet 3 times: Jan. 12, 14, and 15 from 6-8PM

Tuition: $44

This 6-hour Odissi intensive offers a structured introduction to the form, focusing on both technique and expression. The class will begin with learning foundational Odissi postures, with emphasis on chauka and tribhangi. Students will then learn 2–3 core movement, build a a sequence or arasa, and work toward performing the short choreography set to rhythmic bols or music (if available). The intensive is complemented by an introduction to Odissi rhythmic language and guided body-conditioning exercises to support alignment, strength, and stamina.

This workshop is suited for beginner and intermediate-level students. Prior experience in Indian classical dance is helpful but not required.
