Sammilani: The Anastomosis

We believe in joining our efforts to commemorate our heritage, as not just a concept of our past but, as a way of living for the future. By sharing our rich heritage, we evolve and grow.  

Our journey, since its inception in 2018, has been a great learning experience, as we also imbibe different art forms and creativity and grow together in harmony. 

With our journey at Nrithya Alaap, we wish to take the next step forward, by not just shining light on the rich tradition of Odissi, but, creating a new vision, for all, by merging our skills and stories with cross-culture creativity, breaking down borders and barriers. 

Come along and be part of our soulful journey. 

Established in 2018 by Gairika Mathur, Nritya Alaap was conceived with the mission: To disseminate the profound knowledge and exquisite beauty of Odissi– the oldest Indian Classical Dance Form, while concurrently fostering artistic excellence across diverse platforms.  

Nritya Alaap’s core activities encompass weekly classes, catering to both children and adults, offering comprehensive instruction on the Art of Odissi Dance. Under the expert guidance of Gairika Mathur, these one-hour sessions encompass a holistic approach, with body conditioning exercises, fundamental Odissi techniques, in-depth theoretical knowledge and learning new choreographic items.
