About the episode
In this first of three episodes, Cathy Levy speaks to the up-and-coming young star of British dance Aakash Odedra who performed Rising at Canada’s National Arts Centre in February 2014. Aakash describes his early obsession with dance and the degree to which his family recognized his gift and supported him. He explains how he trained in the classical Indian dance styles of Kathak and Bharat Natyam in India and the United Kingdom, never differentiating between dancing and choreography.
