Question

Write the definition of Nritya.

Hint:

Nritya = Nritta + Abhinaya → Expressive storytelling in dance.

Answer 1

Nritya is one of the three main aspects of Indian classical dance.
It combines rhythm (Nritta) with expression (Abhinaya) to tell a story or convey emotions.
While Nritta is pure dance — only movements and rhythm — Nritya adds meaning through gestures, facial expressions, and mime.
It bridges technical dance and dramatic interpretation.
Nritya makes dance more communicative and connects the dancer with the audience emotionally.
