Music syllabi across Orissa teach two systems of music: Hindustani and Carnatic. They usually miss the third, a music system that has distinctive features of its own and lies in between the two. All classical dances are based on their respective classical music form, but Odissi music, though classical in nature, has not been widely perceived as such even though it has been treated as classical dance. Without music there cannot be any dance, so it has been missed perhaps due to ignorance.
