In a country that is known for its art, culture and classical dance, there is no dearth of legendary classical dancers. From Kathak and Kuchupudi to Bharathanatyam and Kathakali, every classical dance form in India has produced famous and exceptionally talented dancers, in abundance.

Take the story of Rukmani Devi Arundale. Born in a simple family and having had a conservative upbringing, Rukmani Devi still managed to create a niche for herself in the Indian culture, through her charismatic performances and unforgettable contributions to Bharathanatyam. She also founded Kalakshetra, which today, proudly stands as an embodiment of the richness of Indian classical dance forms.

Another legendary classical dancer that the country has produced is Uday Shankar. Born in a Rajastani family and having no inclination in dance at first, he later went on to be known as the “father of modern dance”. Having infused the traditional Indian dance form with modern ballet, he gained international acclaim and has performed in various parts of the world.
