The Odissi dance originated in east India’s Orissa State is one of the country’s eight classical dance forms. It is easily distinguished from other dances by the importance it places upon the independent movement of the head, chest, and pelvis, and through its basic square stance.
The dance is considered a styled pantomime that uses body movements and facial expressions to communicate a theme or story.
Odissi dance was originally dedicated to the God but has now become a popular performance style for both male and female dancers free from any religious associations.
The event is co-organised by the Indian Embassy in Vietnam and Department of Performing Arts under Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
