India has a rich heritage of classical dance

The theory and origin of classical dances of India or ‘Shastriya Devesh’ can be traced back to the Sanskrit text of Natya Shastra. The various forms of dance that come under the umbrella have their roots in Hindu religious musical theatres. The Sangeet Natak Academy recognises eight classical dance forms in India, namely, Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Kathakali, Odissi, Mohiniyattam, Manipuri and Satriya. Folk dance forms in India, on the other hand, is part of the indeginous tradition of a region. Performed during occassions, festivities, and ceremonies, the folk and classical dances of India exhibit the unique culture of India in its true essence
