Padmavibhushan Kelucharan Mohapatra. Trained at Nrityagram for a year, she has

Poornima-From
a students’ perspective
Learning dance under Poornima is a rare
experience in the world of classical dances today. Despite the work out that
the classes involve, it has an after effect of peace and agility. One feels
relaxed and active more than tired and inadequate after the classes and is
often left with a desire to come back to the practice space in the following
week. By sharing with us what she learns from other forms of practice into
Odissi space, she cultivates a healthy attitude towards bodily activities in
general and encourages an open-mindedness to learn from all forms. My time in
the dance class is the loveliest time I have spent with myself and my body.
