Tribal Dance Forms of India

ABSTRACT: India is home to a diverse range of tribal communities, each having its unique traditions, and one such wealth of expression is in the form of Tribal dance. This project seeks to document the various styles and importance of different tribal dances across India. Since there is lack of proper documentation and research on lesser-known dance forms, which are neglected by mainstream studies also previous researches are largely focused on popular dances leaving many tribal forms unaddressed specially those from remote areas. The study aims to bridge this gap by documenting and highlighting these lesser-known forms and their importance. It focuses on how these dance forms evolved and how they are being preserved or altered by young generations. This study add value to the indigenous art forms of India.
