Storytelling Through Folk Dance

Emergence of storytelling is believed to be oral with combined gestures and expressions. Storytelling during ancient times is believed to be elementary drawings carved onto the walls of the cave. Introducing the language to the present generation, storytelling conserves the oral language from previous cultures as well. One of the oldest art forms in India is storytelling. It assembles sense of community between listener and teller. It vivifies the imagination of the audience.
