In 2017 we hosted artists and students dedicated to Odissi at the University of Bedfordshire. This year the same wonderful team brought the Ananda Odissi Dance festival to life.

The festival offered the rare opportunity to learn under the guidance of world-renowned Odissi exponent Padmasri Madhavi Mudgal, accompanied by her accomplished disciple Shalakha Rai. Workshops were conducted from 24th to 30st August 2018, with opportunities for dance teachers to refine their skills, performances and more.
