Odissi is one of the classical dance styles from India and is arguably one of the most elegant and beautiful dance forms. Graceful, statuesque and complex, its foundational elements can speak beautifully with bellydance. Featuring intricate hand gestures, percussive footwork and beautiful poses, we will learn this new language of movement and build strength through fun drills and short combinations. Open Level but strong foundation in bellydance is expected. Easier modifications will be provided for newer dancers, as well as more complex options for the more experienced movers.

Dates: Jan 8, 15, 22, (skipping Jan 29), Feb 5 and 12
