Bharatanatyam is the most important traditional dance form in India. Its roots can be found in the southern part of the country. In 1910, the Colonial British government tried to stop this beautiful art form, but passionate protests from the Indian community brought it back to life in the 20th century. It used to only move inside temples, but now, in the 21st century, its beautiful movements can be seen by everyone.
