Dance was created by the gods, according to Indian mythology. Because it integrates song, drama, shape, and line, dancing is one of the most renowned Hindu arts. Indian dance emphasizes gestures, body positions, and head movements. Dance is a genre of performance art that consists of improvisational or pre-planned movement routines. This trend has both aesthetic and symbolic significance. 9,000-year-old murals at the Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka in India and Egyptian tomb paintings portraying dancing figures dated around 3300 BC provide archaeological evidence for early dance.
