Question
Describe classical dances.
✓

Answer

"Classical" dances:
  • The question of defining any art form as "classical" is often quite complicated.
  • We do not define something as classical if it deals with a religious theme.
  • We also do not consider it classical because it appears to require a great deal of skill acquired through long years of training.
  • It is not classical because it is performed according to rules that are laid down, and variations are not encouraged.
  • It is worth remembering that many dance forms that are classified as "folk" also share several of the characteristics considered typical of "classical" forms. So, while the use of the term "classical" may suggest that these forms are superior, this need not always be literally true.
Other dance forms that are recognised as classical at present are:
  • Bharatanatyam (Tamil Nadu).
  • Kathakali (Kerala).
  • Odissi (Orissa).
  • Kuchipudi (Andhra Pradesh).
  • Manipuri (Manipur).
