ODISSI DANCE with KELI CHANCHALA DASI
Saturday November 9th 6pm - 7.30pm
We are excited to welcome world renowned Odissi Dancer, Keli Chanchala Dasi & friend Adi Guru to the Bhakti Centre for an unforgettable evening of traditional Odissi dance and story telling.
Keli Chanchala Dasi, is an accomplished performer and teacher of classical Odissi dance, having been studying since the year 2000 under the tutelage of Sri Guru Pratap Narayan of the Venunad Kala Kendra, Vrindavan.
Born and raised in Hungary, she showed a natural affinity for refined art forms from a young age, studying art restoration, painting and design at college. After becoming deeply inspired by bhakti yoga as a teenager, she embarked on an intensive period of immersion in ashram life, where among the various spiritual practices, she learned to nurture her artistic talent and explore its intrinsic connection with worship and devotion.
For the last 16 years she has spent several months in India each year, studying with her teachers, and then returning to Europe/London, where she continues to present and teach this art form.
Over the years her performances have included presenting solo work at the UK Houses of Parliament Diwali celebration; at corporates such as HSBC; television and media events; large scale festivals such as the London Wellbeing Festival at Kensington Olympia; intimate concerts at theatres and yoga studios, and her personal favourite, dancing in temples
