Dance in India inhabits many worlds. Its sophisticated classicism includes many vocabularies with varying accents: the facial and gestural emotiveness of Koodiyattam and Kathakali, the geometry and rhythmic virtuosity of Bharatanatyam, Kathak and Kuchipudi, and the lyrical grace of Odissi, Sattriya and Mohiniattam. Folk dances expressive of seasonal rhythms and life-patterns enjoy greater community participation.
