Aloka Kanungo
One of the leading classical dancers of India, Aloka Kanungo is a rare combination of dancer, choreographer, teacher & scholar.
A worthy heir to the art of Guru Kelucharan Mahapatra, she is a name within the Odissi genre. Endowed with a well-proportioned body, fluent face, expressive eyes and natural beauty in body movement, she has disciplined her body into supple and flexible grace and her mind into a subtle aesthetic emotion so that she translates with effortless grace the quintessence of Odissi dance into sculpturesque beauty and soulful expression.

She combines single-handed devotion and indefatigable industry with a keen and questioning mind. Her style has an elegance & dignity, which captures the audience. Her innovative creative ideas find expression through the language of dance in her much-appreciated productions, where she experiments with Bandha and Stapatya satya.
Aloka is a dancer of rare merit; her dancing seems to be intrinsic to the very mood and form of Odissi.
