What are the classical dances?

Indian classical dance;

It consists of six traditional dance departments: Brahma, Kartak, Kadakali, Manipuli, Odisi and Kuchipudi. Its main artistic features are clear rhythm and rhythm of dance movements, strong modeling, colorful dance sign language, delicate facial expressions and rich connotations.

European classical dance;

Generally refers to ballet. Ballet is a transliteration of French ballet. The classical dance dramas of European countries are collectively called ballet, which is a kind of dance variety with European classical dance as the main means of expression and integrating music, drama, stage art and other artistic forms. Because an important feature of its performance technique is that actresses have to wear special tiptoe shoes and dance on tiptoe, it is commonly known as "tiptoe dance". According to legend, ballet originated in Italy, formed in France, and was introduced to Russia in the18th century. At the end of18th century and the beginning of19th century, it became an independent and complete art form, created tiptoe dancing skills, developed various aerial jumping and spinning skills, and produced a whole set of training methods, gradually forming Italian school, French school and Russian school with different styles and characteristics. Modern ballet schools appeared after the 1920s, and many ballet schools were derived one after another, which became popular in Europe and America.

China classical dance:

Most of its music is played by national musical instruments unique to China, such as guzheng, erhu and pipa. China's classical dance costumes are antique and have their own characteristics according to the specific requirements of dance. Most dances in the Han and Tang Dynasties used traditional costumes from China.

China classical dance, as a category of China dance art, is a dance with certain demonstration significance and classical style, which is based on traditional folk dance, refined, sorted, processed and created by professional workers in past dynasties, and tested by long-term artistic practice. Classical dance was founded in 1950s and was once called "traditional opera dance" by some people. It is a mixture of drama and dance.

I know so much at present, but there seems to be one more thing: the predecessor of national dance is the "evolution" of classical dance.
