French national Perrine Legoullon has become a global proponent of Sattriya, Assam's classical dance form. Inspired by a performance in Paris, Legoullon pursued intensive training in India, mastering the dance rooted in Vaishnavite tradition. She emphasizes that understanding Sattriya requires deep engagement with Assamese culture and philosophy, not just technique. Legoullon observes growing international interest in Sattriya, with practitioners now in Europe and South America, and notes increasing youth participation within Assam.
