Mouli Pal Indian Classical Dance

I am passionate to enrich my audience with the vibrant moods of Indian classical dance. As a performer, teacher and cultural ambassador I strive to bring Odissi to new vistas and venues exploring the connection of ancient Indian heritage to our contemporary world.

I am a storyteller, taking my audience on a fascinating journey into ancient temples and bring to life sculptures and paintings, poetry and  seasons. I strive to retain authenticity in the art form while evolving to address social and environmental issues through my work.
