Were there men dancing in ancient India?

Indian dance has a long history. As early as the Indus civilization, Indian ancestors liked dancing very much. Among the cultural relics unearthed in Harappa and Mohenjodaro, there are bronze statues of dancers and stone statues of male dancers, which are evidence of popular dances at that time.

In the Vedic era, Indian dance developed obviously and was recorded in writing. Dancers were recorded in Rigveda in 1500 BC. Qiu Sha is dressed in shiny clothes, like a dancer. "Men wear gold jewelry and perform scenes about war by dancing", "Young men and women dance together" and "there is even a caste that specializes in dancing and singing for a living". It can be seen that the dance had developed quite well at that time.
