She has shaped her students into well accomplished dancers, several of whom have chosen to move across the country to study with her. She has trained a number of students for their Ranga Puja (solo debut), many of whom have become successful soloists and Odissi dance teachers. It is fascinating to watch her transform her students, many from a western ethos, into dancers having the consciousness, sensibility and body language of an Odissi dancer. She teaches Odissi as a spiritual practice, emphasizing relaxation, mindfulness and focus while engaging in rigorous physical practice.
