Always Felt Drawn to Classical Dance — but Never Knew Where to Begin?

Sangeet Vidya Niketan (SVN) invites you to a free, intimate introductory session in Odissi, guided by Shri Madhur Gupta.

This is not a "trial class".

It is your first step into a living tradition — with no pressure to perform, no audition, and no recording.

In your very first session, you will not just observe — you will begin moving correctly, experience the structure of classical training, and understand how a student grows from absolute beginner to a refined performer.

Who This Is For:

• Those who have always felt a deep pull towards classical dance

• Those returning to dance after years, seeking depth and direction

• Those who want clarity before committing seriously

What You Will Experience:

• A live, guided introduction to Odissi posture, basic mudras, and body awareness

• A clear understanding of how classical dance training actually progresses

• The guru–shishya parampara at SVN — not as theory, but as lived tradition

• A space with no performance pressure — only attentive exploration

• You will leave with clarity, not confusion — knowing exactly whether this path is right for you.

Why This Session Matters:

Most people hesitate to begin because classical dance feels distant, complex, or intimidating.

This session removes that distance by replacing hesitation with:

• Direct experience

• Structured understanding

• Personal guidance from the Guru

Important Note:

Attendance in this session is mandatory for admission into the regular Odissi program at SVN.

This ensures that every student who joins:

• Understands the commitment

• Resonates with the approach

• Enters with sincerity

Who Can Attend:

• Absolute beginners

• Working professionals, students, and homemakers

• Individuals returning to dance after a long gap

• No prior experience required. No age limit.
