Gotipua Dance of Odisha

Gotipua is a traditional dance form in the state of Orissa, India, precursor of Odissi classical dance. It has been performed in Orissa for centuries by young boys, who dress as women to praise Jagannath and Krishna. 

It is executed by a group of boys who perform acrobatic figures inspired by the life of Radha and Krishna. They begin to learn the dance at an early age until adolescence, when their androgynous appearance changes. In the Oriya language Gotipua, means "single boy".
