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). The Sangeet Natak Akademi currently confers classical status on eight Indian dance styles: Bharatanatyam: Tamil Nadu; Kathak: Uttar Pradesh; Kathakali: Kerala; Kuchipudi: Andhra Pradesh’ Manipuri: Manipur; Mohiniyattam: Kerala; Odissi: Odisha; and Sattriya: Assam.
