For the first time, I saw the performance of the well-known Odissi Classical Indian Dance originated from the province of Orissa, India.
I love everything about the Odissi dance. From the elaborate costumes & headdress of the dancers to the eye movements, stamping of the feet to the beat of the music, sound of the bells on the anklet, elegant postures and hand gestures (known as mudras) of the dancers.
Take note of the poses of the dancers. It is said that the poses in an Odissi dance is more contorted than other classical Indian dance. The dance was so fascinating! My eyes were glued to the performance at all time!
If you have never get the chance to catch an Odissi Classical Dance, below is a video featuring Malaysia's well-known classical Indian dancer, Ramli Ibrahim (in red pants). This is a breathtaking performance!
