I dont like to be addressed as Guru as I feel Gurus have a different level of knowledge and experience," says renowned Odia dancer Aleena Acharaya.

Renowned Odissi dancer Aleena Acharaya shared about her experiences with the art lovers.

Aleena was featured in the latest episode of Baaton Baaton Mein, the Instagram talk show on Sunday. A talk series ‘Baaton Baaton Mein’ is being held every day on Instagram. Hosted by renowned art critic Sunil Mishr, the series is being held for the art lovers.

During the show, Aleena shared her life struggles and stories of the musical journey during the talk. Aleena Acharya is a student of Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra. She has studied at Kala Vikash Kendra, Cuttack.

It requires a different level of dedication and hardwork to be called a Guru, shared Aleena. "But, I try to teach the same way to my student, the way I have been taught by my Guru. It is nothing but a sheer love for the art and you will achieve success," added Aleena.

"My first question to aspirants is that ehy they want to learb Odissi dance, as influence of Bollywood is more  in Mumbai. But, they show their love and passion for the traditional dance and I like it alot," she said.

Aleena has dedicated her dance skills to the cause of young dancers whom she trains to keep alive the testimony of dance over the years. She strongly feels that this art has to be passed on to aspiring youngsters, so that it is enriched with experience and lives eternally.

Aleena talked about Odissi dance and its origin. Odissi is a dance form from the state of Odisha in eastern India. It is recognised as one of the eight classical dance forms of India, and celebrated around the world for its lyricism, sensuality and emphasis on bhakti bhava (attitude of devotion and surrender). Odissi gained visibility in India and internationally from the 1950s onwards when it began to be presented on theatre stages. Since then, Odissi dancers and writers have claimed that it is the oldest of India's classical dance forms, which was earlier performed in the temples of Odisha.
