Classical Indian Dance. Indian classical dance is becoming increasingly popular and entering the mainstream of dance performance on a global scale. This course is designed to give students a working knowledge of Indian classical dance in both movement and theory and to promote general body and movement awareness. The style taught is Odissi classical dance, the indigenous style of Orissa State, starting with basic exercises, to open and strengthen the body and prepare it for the structured form of Odissi. In addition to these basic exercises, step combinations and a full choreographed piece will be taught for an informal performance at the end of the semester. The core material of this class can benefit all forms of dance. Please wear loose clothing which allows for free movement. We will learn how to wrap saris in the traditional dance style.

When Offered Fall, spring.
