Kathakali dance is a traditional dance form of Kerala. In Kerala, the Kathakalli dance form is often known as the King of theater performances. The long hours of make-up, the elaborate and colorful make up, the heavily adorned costumes, all contribute towards making this dance form certainly larger than life. This traditional Kathakali dance form is a very aggressive dance, with no delicate and subtle movements. The actions are powerful and require high amounts of energy to perform. This is also one reason why males play the characters of females as well. It is said that this dance form has evolved over a period of 300 years.

The Kathakali dance basically means story telling. The scenes that are enacted are emoted with much vigor and vitality to bring life to the myths and legends. This dance form highlights complex body movements and facial expressions. The characters they enact seem so real, that at some point during the performance you will feel as though they have swapped their real identities with the characters. Since these complex and intricate body movements require suppleness of muscles, the Kathakali performers have to undergo special massage for their arms, necks and faces.

In Kerala, classical mohiniatam dance form evolved centuries back under the influence of the great king of Travancore, Swati Tirunal. This king was a great patronage of fine arts and encouraged artists from all over India to perform in his court.

The make up and costume of a dancer is very simple yet beautiful. Emphasis is laid on eye make up since most expressions involve emoting through eyes. The color of the costume is usually white or off-white with a golden or a red border. The hair is done up in a bun on the side just above the ear and is decorated with flowers.

Legend has it that Lord Vishnu assumed the form of a gorgeous heavenly enchantress called Mohini to derive the "Pot of Amrit" (potion for immortality), which was in possession of the Demons. He seduced the demons in the form of the divine seductress and somehow managed to get hold of the pot. The dance that was performed to mesmerize the demons is now called "Mohiniattam
