Under the aegis of Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) in their
Horizon series, Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra’s senior disciple Rina Jana
from Kolkata gave a delectable Odissi recital on 15th June 2012.
Trained under Kelubabu’s watchful eye, Rina had from a very young age shown potential of being a dancer of merit. She watched Sanjukta Panigrahi and was much influenced by her dancing. She took lessons from her also and at one point she looked like Sanjukta when dancing. Then it was brought to her notice that she had to develop her own individual style and not imitate Sanjukta. That was enough and since then she performs with élan and confidence like a born dancer.
