Dance in India

Dance in India comprises the varied styles of dances in the country. As with other aspects of Indian culture, different forms of dances originated in different parts of India, developed according to the local traditions and also imbibed elements from other parts of the country. ''Sangeet Natak Akademi'', the national academy for performing arts, recognizes eight distinctive traditional dances as Indian classical dances, which might have origin in religious activities of distant past.
Folk dances are numerous in number and style, and vary according to the local tradition of the respective state, ethnic or geographic regions. Contemporary dances include refined and experimental fusions of classical, folk and Western forms. Dancing traditions of India have influence not only over the dances in the whole of South Asia, but on the dancing forms of South East Asia as well. Dances in Indian films are often noted for their idiosyncrasies, and hold a significant presence in popular culture of the Indian subcontinent.
== Origin of Dance in India ==

In Hindu scriptures, dance is believed to have been conceived by Brahma. Brahma inspired the sage Bharata Muni to write the ''Natya Shastra'', a treatise on performing arts, from which a codified practice of dance and drama emerged.〔 He used ''pathya'' (words) from the ''Rigveda'', ''abhinaya'' (gestures) from the ''Yajurveda'', ''geet'' (music) from the ''Samaveda'' and ''rasa'' (emotions) from the ''Atharvaveda'' to form the ''Natyaveda'' (body of knowledge about dance). The best-known of Hindu deities—Shiva, Kali and Krishna—are typically represented dancing.〔(Narayan p.10)〕 Shiva's cosmic dance, ''tandava'', Kali's dance of creation and destruction and Krishna's dance with the ''gopika''s (cow-herd girls)—''Rasa Lila''—are popular motifs in Hindu mythology.
In ancient India, there were no dedicated auditorium halls or theaters, and dance was usually a functional activity dedicated to worship, entertainment or leisure. Dancers usually performed in temples, on festive occasions and seasonal harvests. Dance was performed on a regular basis before deities as a form of worship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.indiaheritage.org/perform/history_classical_dances.htm )〕 Even in modern India, deities are invoked through religious folk dance forms from ancient times.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Folk dances of Bihar - Bihargatha )〕 Classical dance forms such as Bharata Natyam use ''mudra''s or hand gestures also to retell episodes of mythological tales such as the slaying of Kaliya by Krishna.
Gradually dancers, particularly from South India, moved from temples to houses of royal families where they performed exclusively for royalty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.4to40.com/music/article.asp?p=History_And_Myths_of_Indian_Classical_Dances&c=Indian_Classical_Dance )
India offers a number of classical Indian dance forms, each of which can be traced to different parts of the country. Classical and folk dance forms also emerged from Indian traditions, epics and mythology. There are many Indian folk dances such as Bhangra, Bihu, Ghumura Dance, Sambalpuri, Chhau and Garba and special dances observed in regional festivals such as Lohri and Navratri.
The presentation of Indian dance styles in film, Hindi Cinema, has exposed the range of dance in India to a global audience.
