India is a very large country with variety of culture and dance forms. Each and every dance be it classical or folk is very colorful and has tons of grace. The features that differentiate classical dances with the folk dances are extremely important. Each Classical dance comes with specific grammar and rules and history. May I mention that all the dances have tons of influence of the cultural and economic and social surroundings. The costumes, ornaments, songs, movements are all totally depends on the area of origin. It can very well be concluded that the source of inspiration might have been the same however each and every dance form have adapted in its own way.
Defination of Classical Dance
It implies a set of rules that are rigid, that have developed over a period of time like that of a language and consists of complex techniques. the daily repetition of the same exercise, the surrender to the Guru, the mastery of the body--always monotonous and sometime pain full --- not only serve to conquer the techniques but they also prepare the mind.
