6. You nailed that right away! I hadn't gotten past seeing them as a group, yet, when I posted it!

I'm watching it again, almost one half way through, and I caught it as soon as I remembered you mentioned he was on the right. He was on the right in the front row, right? A little more muscular than the others.

He fully occupies and embodies that dance! There is nothing standing between him and the form. No ego, no separation at all! After watching him this far, I see now that he is, indeed, more consciously experienced, although the others are mechanically very skilled. He's way beyond them, isn't he?

Thanks for sharing your observation. Seeing them again made the event much more complete, by far! I even subscribed. Here's hoping I might find out more about the work of the principle dancer. Hoping they'll have more videos.

Here's a different Odissi dancer, and her dance shows a lot of the same elements. Also very interesting. It's a great place to spend some quality time, discovering the great classical dancers of this ancient culture.
