All great Indian rulers from Chandragupta to Shahjehan were patrons of dance and music.India has myriad forms of dance-from tribal to ballet forms.
In india,Dance and music have been able to preserve standards of excellence amidst poverty and decadence all round.Pt.Ravi Shankar,Pt.Bhimsen Joshi,Ustad Bismillah khan,Mallikarjun Mansur,Begum Akhtar,Sonal Mansingh,Uma Sharma and Birju Maharaj are some of the cultural luminaries of India.
Indian dance is both sensuous and spiritual.To be a dancer par excellence one has to have superb control on body movements and emotions.Practice of dance requires years of disciplined training under a master and continues throughout the life.The dancer has to go on refining her art ceaselessly.
