| - Indian classical dance is a relatively new umbrella term for various codified art forms rooted in Natya, the sacred Hindu musical theatre styles, whose theory can be traced back to the Natya Shastra of Bharata Muni (400 BC). These are: Dances performed inside the sanctum of the temple according to the rituals were called Agama Nartanam. This was a spiritual dance form. Dances performed in royal courts to the accompaniment of classical music were called Carnatakam. This was an intellectual art form. Darbari Aattam form of dance appealed more to the commoners and it educated them about their religion, culture and social life. These dances were performed outside the temple precincts in the courtyards. For lack of any equivalents in the European culture, the British colonial authorities called any performing art forms found in India as "Indian dance". Even though the art of Natya includes nritta, or dance proper, Natya has never been limited to dancing and includes singing, abhinaya . These features are common to all the Indian classical styles. A very important feature of Indian classical dances is the use of the mudra or hand gestures by the artists as a short-hand sign language to narrate a story and to demonstrate certain concepts such as objects, weather, nature and emotion. The Sangeet Natak Akademi currently confers classical status on eight Indian dance forms: Bharatanatyam - Tamil Classical Dance Odissi - Orrisa Classical dance Kuchipudi - Telugu Classical dance Manipuri - Manipur Classical Dance Mohiniaattam - Kerala Classical Dance Sattriya - Asamese Classical Dance Kathakali - Malayalam Classical Dance Kathak - North Indian Classical Dance Out of the 8 styles, the most ancient ones and the ones that have their origin in Agama Nartanam are Bharatanatyam and Odissi. These two most faithfully adhere to the Natya Shastra. Kuchipudi and Mohiniaattam are relatively recent Darbari Aatam forms, just as Kathakali, and two eastern Indian styles, Manipuri and Sattriya, that are quite similar. Kathak was influenced in the Mughal period by various other dance forms, including Persian dance. (en)

- Se denominan danzas clásicas de la India a las incluídas en el "Nâtya-shâstra", un tratado artístico que se atribuye al rishi Bhârata escrito alrededor del año 400 a. C. Esta obra se divide en treinta y ocho capítulos, que describen las convenciones del teatro, el drama, la poesía, el canto y la música. Incluye reglas sobre temas tan diversos como los edificios ideales para interpretar estas artes, las reglas de prosodia y dicción, los tipos de personaje, la forma de representar los sentimientos, y los movimientos de cada miembro. Se describen en detalle sesenta y siete mudrâ (posiciones de las manos) y treinta y seis movimientos de ojos. (es)
- 印度古典式舞蹈其实是很多种类舞蹈方式的总称。这些舞蹈在某些时代在以印度为中心的南亚地区流行。 然而在现代，由于印度宝莱坞电影事业的发达，新的更加流行的舞蹈形式被从古典舞蹈中派生出来，而且已经自成体系，这些新派舞蹈往往称作印度现代舞蹈或宝莱坞式舞蹈，她们已不属于本文所述的古典式舞蹈。 Dances performed inside the sanctum of the temple according to the rituals were called Agama Nartanam. This was a spiritual dance form. Dances performed in royal courts to the accompaniment of classical music were called Carnatakam. This was an intellectual art form.

Even though the art of Natya includes nritta, or dance proper, Natya has never been limited to dancing alone. At its best, has the most powerful means to lead its worshippers – the artist – to the Divine. It is a sincere depiction of the Divine. It is a sincere depiction of the realities in life, an embodiment of the imagination and gracefulness, the very soul which thereby creates as it were the “Idol of the Beautiful”. Out of the 8 styles, the most ancient ones and the ones that have their origin in Agama Nartanam are Bharatanatyam and Odissi. These two most faithfully adhere to the Natya Shastra. Kuchipudi and Mohiniaattam are relatively recent Darbari Aatam forms, just as Kathakali, and two eastern Indian styles, Manipuri and Sattriya, that are quite similar. Kathak bears a strong influence of the Persian dance. 印度古典式舞蹈的一个主要特点是使用手势以表达舞蹈者所要表达的思想感情或某些意思。 (zh)
