Types Of Dance

 The adverse effect of dance can be seen from the past years.

By the time of Ratha's Natya Shastra, many types of arts had developed completely in Indian society. The indulgence of the common people had increased so much in the arts that in the then administrations, sometimes there was a fear that people would leave their work and spend time only in arts and entertainment, so they were sometimes banned. Bharata Muni made Natya Kala as his goal and for the development of the same, he wrote an extremely useful and fully-practical interpretation of the Natya Shastra - which is such a useful text for the Natya-dance art even after this time. Will- it is the backbone of all classical dances. Natyashastra is considered to be the first available book of this art. This Maha Granth is not only a theatrical art but also a primitive book on many subjects like a dance - music - Alankara Shastra - Chhanda Shastra etc. - hence it has been honored as Panchamveda. Bharat Muni's contribution to the dance world is valuable. After this, the description of these dances in ancient Sanskrit texts like Kalidasa's Shakuntalam - Meghdootam - Vatsayayan's Kamasutra - and Mritchkatikam, etc. shows the artistry of our Indian culture - which is still intact.
