ON TOUR FROM INDIA
Bharatanatyam is one of the oldest dance forms of India. It is highly technical, involving intricate footwork, body movements, and facial expressions to convey emotions and tell stories.
We highly recommend this sublime dance performance by Oindrila Roy Mallick. “Graceful, captivating and full of emotion.”
OINDRILA ROY MALLICK is well-known among the younger generation of Bharatanatyam dancers in India. Trained initially under the late Guru K. P.P Thampi from the age of five, Oindrila honed her dance skills further under legendary Guru Khagendra Nath Barman, one of the most senior disciples of Guru Rukmini Devi Arundale, founder of the unique “Kalakshetra” style (of Bharataatyam). In 2011, she came under the guidance of Guru Abhoy Pal of Kalamandalam style. Oindrila’s dance reflects the cumulative richness of her learning experience.
She teaches dance in India and has been touring in Europe since 2011. Recently, she received the Chairman’s Award at the International Multicultural Dance and Music Festival in Pune, India. In 2021, she received “The Best Bharatanatyam Dancer” award from Lion’s Club Chennai. She holds a Master’s Degree in Bharatanatyam from Rabindra Bharati University.
