British rule prohibited public performance of dance, linking dance with immoral trafficking and prostitution. Classical forms and regional distinctions were re-discovered, ethnic specialties were honored after India got independent in 1947.
The dance in India can be tribal, folk or classical. The tribal dance is the rhythmic expression of joys and beliefs of ‘aborigines’ or people living mostly in jungle. Folk dances are almost similar to tribal dance form but are less ritualistic in content. Classical dance evolved by the crystallization and transmission of stylized interpretations of divine activities of the other two dance forms.
