Uday Shankar (8 December 1900 – 26 September 1977), was an Indian Dancer and choreographer, best known for creating a fusion style of dance, adapting European theatrical techniques to Indian Classical Dance, imbued with elements of Indian classical, folk, and tribal dance, which he later popularised in India, Europe, and the United States in 1920s and 1930s. He was a pioneer of modern dance in India.
Many people things that creative dance(fusion), bollywood dance and western dance are the same style, but its totally a wrong thinking.
Creative Dance is a form of expression that uses bodily movements that are rhythmic, patterned, or sometimes improvised, and often accompanied by music. One of the oldest art forms, the art of dance is found in every culture and is performed for purposes ranging from the ceremonial, liturgical, and magical to the theatrical, social, and simply aesthetic.
