Big compliments! So beautiful and well done, the most gracefully Battu, i have ever seen! Also the Angikam at the beginning was impressing.

Thank you for sharing your performance! I'm also an odissi student and really enjoyed watching this. I've only learned a sthayi so far so I'm always excited to watch a battu or pallavi. I hope you keep dance in your life and keep sharing your journey 🙌🏾
