Music and Dance

Music are Dance are complementary to each other. Dance cannot exist without Music. They are like two limbs of a human body. The fundamental principle of Arts is clearly stated in Vishnudharmottara Purana, when Markendeya told King Vajra that he must learn the art of dance before he learnt the art of icon-making and the art of music before he learnt dance and that he must master taala before he attempted to learn music.
