This experience will encourage me to not be afraid
of new or unfamiliar in my future. Instead of
disregarding things that are different from my usual
life I will be curious about them and interested to
learn about them.

Dance is a way of life, a way of thinking, a feeling,
my spirit, my soul, me. But yet awkward to the
intricacies of Indian classical forms that I had never
ever been a part of since my childhood. What
changed this? Odissi and you! Thank You.
