Despite the fact that he never received formal training in any of the classical dances of India, Uday Shankar went on to revolutionize the way India danced! Fusing European theatrical techniques with India’s very own classical and folk dance forms, Uday came up with his own style of dance. After having named the new dance form as ‘Hi-dance’, he later rechristened it and called it 'Creative dance'. This creative dance was the stepping stone for the birth of modern dance in India. Even today, many dance schools around the world are teaching this fusion form. An institution called ‘Udayan Kala Kendra, headed by Uday’s daughter Mamata Shankar, is one of the most prominent dance schools that teach this dance form.
