Nrityagram is a community of artistes dedicated to the practice and nurture of Odissi, a 2000-year-old classical dance of India.

The Dance Village is home to a school inspired by the Gurukula, an ancient teaching paradigm, and an internationally renowned Dance Ensemble.

Our mission is to nurture dance professionals through the gurukula system, perform on a global stage and forge a community through outreach.

People of
Nrityagram

"I believe in miracles!
And though
there are moments
when dark clouds
pass overhead,
I am convinced
that everything
Nrityagram needs,
will come to it.”
