| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Indian classical dance is a broad term used to describe the eight types of dances rooted in Hindu musical theater traditions. These classical styles date back as far as 400 B.C. and have social, political and religious influence. This book looks at the influence of other art forms on Indian classical dance, the political eras that inspired the moves and the types of dance styles still performed today, including Sattriya, Odissi, Mohiniyattam and Manipuri dance.
