Free Odissi Dance Performance

Join Arbutus Folk School for an evening of Odissi dance by local artist Anoova Sattar. No registration required! Simply drop in to attend this free event. Children welcome.
Odissi is one of the seven forms of classical Indian dance. Traditionally danced in the temples of India, Odissi developed as a form of meditation to achieve inner peace.
Odissi dancer, Anoova Sattar trains under Dr. Ratna Roy, the foremost instructor of the Mahari (female) tradition. In comparison to the more widely-known Gotipua (male) tradition, which features greater percussive qualities of the dance, the Maharis emphasize a slow torso and circular body movement.
In an hour-long performance, the artist will be sharing a selection of choreographies and a short history of odissi dance.
