Hear from the families who call our community their home away from home.
"Moving to Dallas felt overwhelming, but the Odia Society welcomed us instantly. Within weeks we had friends, and our children were dancing in their first performance. It truly is a home away from home."
"My daughter started Odissi classes here at age six. Now at 14 she performs at the annual gala and speaks Odia fluently. I couldn't have asked for a better community to raise her in Florida."
"The Durga Puja celebration rivals anything I experienced back in Bhubaneswar. The organization, the prasad, the performances — everything is done with so much love and devotion."
