Madhavi Mudgal – Advanced Class

Madhavi Mudgal epitomises the elegance and sophistication of the Odissi dance form. She is widely acclaimed worldwide for her deep insight into the art of choreography and her commitment to train and encourage new dancers to finer nuances of Odissi. Madhavi’s command over the nritta or purely ornamental aspect of Odissi is also striking. Her delicate postures and strong rhythmic footwork combine in an appealing flow of sculpturesque movements.
