Indian Heritage
#Indian Dance Forms
Indian classical dances are inspired by history and mythology. India has many dances, coming
from every state in the country. But there are only six forms recognised by India on a national
level. They are Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Kathakali, Manipuri, Kuchipudi, and Odissi. Each
dance form has a specific costume, extensive jewellery, headgear, etc.
Find out information on any ten Indian dance forms and prepare a project file with pictures
and information. You may also create a PowerPoint presentation and then take a printout.
