Created for intermediate to advanced level dancers, The Sculpted Blossom explores articulated hand gestures - Mudras - graceful arm patterns, expressive eye and head movements, evocative ribcage isolations, the precise footwork of Odissi, and how all these can be connected to the beautiful hip and torso articulations found in belly dance.
