Q59 (IAS/1997) History & Culture › Culture, Literature, Religion & Philosophy › Indian dance traditions Answer Verified

Which one of the following dances involves solo performance ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Bharatanatyam is classically identified and taught as a solo dance style originating in Tamil Nadu and is widely described as the solo dance form of that region. While other classical forms may be performed as solo presentations or as part of dance-dramas, Kuchipudi is explicitly noted to function both as a dance-drama and as a solo dance form in pedagogical materials. Given the question’s focus on a dance that involves solo performance as its primary, traditional mode, Bharatanatyam is the best choice because it is conventionally presented and recognized as a solo recital form in standard descriptions of Indian classical dance.
