I would never perform Odissi as I am just a novice at best. However I have seen many non-Indian dancers dedicate their life to this dance and do it justice. Every one is entitled to their opinion, however.
i really apologise for the previous comments. I was watching it with another dancer friend of mine, unfortunately she sent a stupid comment on it without my knowlege . We all critisise and laugh sometimes on many a things in the dance world but in my heart i think personaly and know that many non indian dancers are far more dedicated to our art form and it shows in this video clip.

Its nice to know how much of hard work you all girls have put in . Lived the real simple orthodox life style in the dance world of Bhubaneshwar . But at the end of it all remember you will never be part of this culture cause first of all there will never be that beautiful grase from you. We bengalis or oriya have it naturally . So it looks comical or silly doing it - learn but don't apear on stage please .
I don't agree with you, there is also indian that are not so graceful and there is also good foreign dancers. With a good work they certainly can improve.
I studied with Guru Padma Cheren Dehury who was very sweet as well as talented. He and his nephew Suroj teach at Jyoti Kala Mandir School of Classical Indian Arts, which has a branch in Berkeley, CA as well.
Hi, that is great I've just did a similar experience at the dance village (Nrytryagram) near Bangalore..I wondered what Orissa looked like......thanks
Do you have to be enrolled in the school in California to go?

The background music is really distracting, especially when they are making music in the video!
