Lord Shiva, Nataraja, is the original dancer. The title Natya Shashtra, the definitive treatise on dance,is derived from his name.
I loved this clip on Nataraja Dance. Here it is:
This dance is apparently inspired by a statute of the dancing Lord Shiva Inside a ring-like device in a temple in Tamil Nadu.
A replica of this statue occupies a pride of place in my drawing room. Most visitors admire it and often, it serves as a good conversation-piece.
