Indian classical dance’ is an umbrella term used for various performance arts rooted in religious Hindu musical theatre styles, whose theory and practice can be traced to the Sanskrit text, Natya Shastra.
The number of recognized classical dances range from eight to more, depending on the source and scholar. The Sangeet Natak Academy recognizes eight – Kathak from North India, Manipuri from the North East, Odissi from Orissa, Kuchipudi from Andhra Pradesh, Bharatanatyam from Tamil Nadu, and Kathakali and Mohiniattam from Kerala. These dances are traditionally regional; all of them include music and recitation in local language or Sanskrit. They represent a unity of core ideas in a diversity of styles, costumes, and expression.
