    PAPER 6 DANCE IN INDIA TODAY, DANCE-DRAMAS, CREATIVITY WITHIN THE CLASSICAL FORMS, INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE IN DIASPORA (USA, UK, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, ETC.) MODULE 1 DANCE IN INDIA TODAY AN OVERVIEW Indian classical dance traditions have been borne out of a sense of propitiation of the divinity. A certain spiritual content has always been its mainstay. It has also been essentially the art of a soloist, except in dance-theatre forms. Over two thousand unbroken years, it has grown to become the longest continuous dance culture, affording an interesting insight into man and his relationship to stage in general and dance art, in particular. Its classical nature comes through by a set of code of grammar, content and concept. Thus, if in one form, the knees are to be bent while performing and a half-sitting position maintained all through, then it cannot be altered. The position of hands, the use of eyes, neck, torso and feet, all go towards making dance units, which become strings of movements, through which individual characteristics and a grammar is set which makes each form distinct and thus, with age and tradition, classical. The content is mostly mythological. These forms evolved over centuries, and it is believed, these were created to please gods and their representatives on earth. The myth goes that the gods were bored and asked the wisest amongst them – Brahma, the creator, - to create some form of entertainment that would involve and engage all. Brahma enlisted the help of sages, of whom Bharata, was given the specific task of writing a new Veda, (the holy treatises of which four existed already - Rig, Saama / साम, Yajur / यजुर and Atharva / अथ셍व) the fifth Veda called the Natyashastra, and through this work, the details of modern dramaturgy in India were born.
