DEBAMITRA SENGUPTA

Ms. Debamitra Sengupta is an internationally renowned Odissi dancer and teacher. An ‘A Grade’ artist of Doordarshan Prasar Bharati, and an empanelled Classical dancer under the ICCR, Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, Debamitra is always in the process of modification and innovation; she strongly believes that classical dance forms, which have a long cultural memory, would have become museum relics, without inputs of fresh energy to revive them at different points of time. Teaching is her another forte; besides running her Odissi Institution, Kolkata Mayur Lalit and conducting regular workshops all over India, this tech-friendly danseuse teaches across the world through Skype. Debamitra is also into various social activities, she is the Dance Teacher and Counsellor at the Alipore Correctional Home for Women & Children, Kolkata looking after physical and mental well being of the inmates and their children over there.
