India is fortunate to have several dance manuals from the medieval era. The Natya Shastra is the most famous but translations of the Abhinaya Darpana, Nrityavindos and others can be found in English. These treatises are written for study by both dancers and connoisseurs of dance with copious lists of movements and bodily positions, as well as recommendations and guidance for assessing quality performance. Get ready to try unusual moves, hear fascinating information about the culture of dance in medieval India, and to get a bit more familiarity into the fun of digging into treatises on medieval dance!
