Roynon strive to make every learning experience meaningful and contribute towards the learning journey of a student. We have a dedicated, qualified and experienced teaching team and are also extremely proud to have built a bank of industry contacts who regularly come to our school. Our students are also given unique performance opportunities at local events, private functions and even a-list celebrity events. Meanwhile, our work in schools is ever-growing and includes a range of primary, secondary and private.

From grassroots origins to international audiences, we produce high-quality dance projects, develop artistic careers and improve wellbeing for our participants. Our medium is the classical Indian dance of Odissi. Originating from the Bay of Bengal over two thousand years ago, Odissi deals with contemporary and classical themes that remain just as relevant in storytelling today. Its narratives are researched and presented to audiences as both movements and rasas, representing emotions of real life experiences such as love, devotion, anger and playfulness. Our dancers and artists deliver renowned workshops and performances that bring Odissi to thousands of new audience members every year.
