In this course, you will learn the fundamental foot positions of Odissi in rhythm and flow.
Special Note: You learn so much more than "just" the foot positions! To start, you will access warm-ups for your feet, learn about rhythm, and the perfect gateway to memorize them all: a dance piece that is both performative and educational.
These Odissi Dance foot positions were codified by Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra and further refined and categorized by master teacher Sharmila Biswas. The various positions are seen on the ancient temple facades in Odisha and are mentioned in the various ancient texts about dance.
Now is YOUR chance to learn them all!
Dancing begins with your feet
Increased awareness in your feet will awaken your body's innate intelligence and enable you to become an embodied graceful dancer.
Stand tall as a mountain
Your feet are the foundation of your posture. Articulated active feet allow you to move with confidence.
An ancient proverb
"Your feet will take you where your heart is."
