Indian Dance Forms

This course discusses Indian classical dance, or Shastriya Nritya, which is an umbrella term for various performance arts rooted in religious Hindu musical theatre styles, whose theory and practice can be traced to the Sanskrit text Natya Shastra.
Indian folk dances are very popular in the world.The number of recognized classical dances in India range from eight to more, depending on the source and scholar. The Sangeet Natak Akademi recognizes eight – Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Odissi, Kathakali, Sattriya, Manipuri and Mohiniyattam. Scholars such as Drid Williams add Chhau, Yakshagana and Bhagavata Mela to the list.The Culture Ministry of the Government of India includes Chhau in its classical list. These dances are traditionally regional, all of them include music and recitation in local languages or Sanskrit, and they represent a unity of core ideas in a diversity of styles, costumes and expression.
