INDIAN DANCE FORMS

Bharatha Natyam
Bharata Natyam is a style of solo dance (one person dancing) that comes from southern India. It is one of the most important and probably one of the oldest of the classical styles and is an amalgam of many aspect of art. Although closely linked with local traditional dance-drama, it was used mainly in Hindu religious ceremonies .

Kathak
Kathak is the major dance style of northern India and combines local folk elements with dance forms that developed in the courts of the Mughal emperors and later Indian princes . Latter Kathak assumed a distinct dance form due to the popularization of the Radha Krishna legend and consequent emergence of an operatic play known as 'Rasa Lila' which in turn was inspired by the song of big poets like Surdas, Nandadas and Krishnadas with the advent of the muslim rule.

Kathakali
Kathakali, from the state of Kerala in southwestern India, is a true dance-drama. The Kathakali dancers act out the parts of different characters in a play. They dress up in outsize costumes to give themselves a larger-than-life appearance. They also wear mask like face make-up, in colours that have a strong, symbolic meaning. Kathakali performances are often held out doors and sometimes go on all night.

Manipuri
Dance and music is a way of life for the Manipuris. Legend has it that while searching for a suitable place to hold his rasa (union) with Parvati, Lord Shiva came across this place which was verdant, lush, secluded and girdled by hills.

Orrissi
Orissi is a dance form from the state of Orissa, in eastern India. Sculptures found in Orissa, dating from the 100's B.C., show dancers in distinctive poses characteristic of the Orissi style. The style developed from musical plays and was common in temples and village entertainments. Orissi dances were first performed by women. Later, men dressed as women performed them around temples.

Kuchipudi
The Kuchipudi dance drama came into existence in the 17th century through the Bhakti cult in the small village of Kuchipudi in Andhra Pradesh. Kuchipudi was once completely male dominated, who performed the female parts as well.
