Odissisance Institute

We set up the institute over here in Gurgaon Village, specifically at PG-54V near Fun City. It’s a bit of a different vibe compared to the main city areas, but it works for us. We have a dedicated space for Odissi practice. It’s not a polished studio with central air or anything fancy. It’s just a solid floor and enough space to move around without hitting the walls. Most of the people who come here are from the surrounding blocks. We teach the basic steps first, which takes months for some. It’s a slow process, and we don't rush anyone. Some days it’s just a few of us, and other days the room is packed. We use a simple sound system for the music. The area around Fun City can get a bit crowded, but our corner stays relatively peaceful. We don't have a big marketing team or a fancy website. If you want to join, you just come by and talk to whoever is leading the session that day. We handle our own chores, like sweeping the floor before class starts. It’s a very hands-on way of running things. We just want to make sure the dance is taught correctly without all the extra fluff you see in big institutes. It's a place for serious practice, but we also have tea together sometimes. It's a nice little community we've built here in the village area.
