No experience required, just bring your curiosity!

Today I had the privilege of performing for Indian Independence Day at Estia Aged Care, and I met some truly wonderful people. ✨🇮🇳

One beautiful lady, Saroja Ji (pictured here), told me that the performance took her straight back to India. She shared stories of her childhood, including a precious memory of holding Mahatma Gandhi’s hand when she was a little girl.

When I was leaving, she was crying ❤️

Moments like this remind me why art matters so deeply. To touch even one person’s heart, awaken a memory, or create a moment of connection...

Art connects us across generations, cultures and time. And today, I felt incredibly grateful to be part of that connection. 🙏✨

Odissi dance is more than just learning steps and dances.

Theory is an essential part of the journey, helping dancers understand not just what to do, but why we do it.

In theory lessons, students learn to write and understand rhythm, developing the ability to recognise and record different rhythmic patterns. This deepens musical awareness and creates a stronger connection between movement and music.

We also explore the language of the body, understanding the different types of movements, their purpose, and how they come together to create the distinctive beauty of Odissi dance and the subtle art of expression, abhinaya.

Through codified facial expressions, eye movements, hand gestures, and emotional states, dancers learn how to transform movement into storytelling. Abhinaya is what allows a dance to speak directly to the heart.

Theory brings the dance to life inside the mind of the dancer. It enriches practice, builds confidence, and helps us understand this rich tradition that has been passed down through generations.

If you've been curious about Odissi dance, my 4-week Beginner Odissi Dance Course begins Saturday, July 19 on the Sunshine Coast, we'll explore not only the movements of this beautiful dance form but also its rhythms, expressive storytelling, and the theory behind the practice.

No previous dance experience is needed.
