Abstract
Dance is a powerful Art form originated for the devotion toward God , Dance is a gesture reflected from the human body representing inner self .It is not only rituals but an art form. Historically the origins can be traced from the extant sculptures, paintings, literature, inscriptions and foreign accounts of the country as the major forms of sources. Mythological origins have also been based on the origins as discussed in the books that narrate the status of dance during the Vedic periods, as narrated in the epics, the Puranas and the literary accounts that followed. Dance has existed ever since mankind has come into existence.
