Smitalay's summer workshop ended
with an informal function on the 23rd of May, where all the
participants performed the dance item they learnt in the workshop. Some
students even sang, and even played the pakhawaj. Ratikant Mohapatra (son of
the legendary Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra) was present and was very impressed with the presentation.
