Welcome to the Techniques of Odissi dance. Here we will focus on:
- Bhumi Pranam – steppings a dancer learns to give respect to Mother Earth.
- Exercise – condition, warm up and improve the dancer’s stamina and posture.
- Chouka – steppings of an important bhangi (bend) in Odissi.
- Tribhangi – steppings of another important bhangi in Odissi
Disclaimer: There are many variations to the Exercise, Chouka, and Tribhangi steppings. In this Beginner’s Guide, we will go over one of the many styles we can perform these steppings.
