:: Mitali Raul ::

It was a pleasure to watch chaste Odissi presented with dignity by the talented dancer. It is indeed a pleasure to see this petite young dancer perform and each time she reconfirms one's assessment of her as a dancer to keep an eye on.

The group choreography was lively, often stunning, and the dancing mostly good; but what carried the evening was Mitali Kamat's ability to stay in character as the clever, wise, sensuous, spirited, yet emotionally vulnerable. Leelavati created by Paranjape, the lithe grace of her body presenting a charming contrast to Ratikant Mahapatra's stolid Bhaskaracharya.

I have watched Mitali perform and have been impressed by the quality of her dancing. She is a dedicated artiste, keen on perfecting her art thru study and constant practice.

OPINIONS

Mitali's training has infused in her a sense of neat artistry and discipline. Her work reflects her devotion towards her art form. She deserves all the encouragement from all reflects her devotion towards her art form. She deserves all the encouragement from all art lovers. I recommend her for whatever opportunities be given to flourish in the field of Odissi.

PADMA VIBHUSHAN GURU KELUCHARAN MOHAPATRA

Mitali has been my prime disciple. She has enhanced many a ballet choreographed by me through her radiant presence and brilliant dancing. She is a thorough professional in her dealing with dance- be it a performance, a lecture demonstration or a composition.

GURU - JHELUM PARANJAPE

Mitali joined her again in the Kirwani pallavi set to khemta and things brightened up. Mitali had a flexibility of body movements that made her often outshine her teacher Jhelum and that was manifest yet again in their concluding item a duet dance to a shloka to Lord Shiva. Before that Mitali's abhinay piece showed her total involvement with the dance though she needed to chisel her expressions to bring in more depth.
