Bharatha Nattya
The origins of dance must be traced to the primeval instinct of all living beings.. Because,It is nothing but the outward manifestation of inner feeling or emotion mostly of joy in the form of bodily movements.this instinct must have come earlier than that of speech or sing .whether human beings and birds that could also sing or animals or insects that could only jump,all living beings resorted to dancing as the earliest and easiest means of expressing their exuberance of spirits.
while lower beings could follow only their natural instincts and habits in dancing,the human race with its develop brains improved upon nature and instinct and created newer and newer forms of dancing through its own artifice.
love and war seem to have been the major motive springs for dance in almost all living beings.among men and women however,religion also has been an other impetus for it.for worshiping propitiating Gods and Goddesses,driving away evil strips and warding off epidemics, dancing has been the source of inspiration for dance .Hence,all the world over,the art of dancing has been developed in multitudinous forms in various communities. But all the same,the growth and development of the arts,its purpose and significance have been different among different people according to their respective basic temperaments,ideologies,habits,manners and surroundings.
