Dance and choreography, like every other example in the field of Fine arts, has made great advancecs -- from temple dance, court dance, folk dances, various classical and traditional dances of the country to tap dance, break dance, jazz, hip-hop, rock 'n roll, Afro jazz styles and so on. A leading exponent of modern day dancing and a sensational choreographer of this genre, Shiamak Davar, who came to limelight with the blockbuster "Dil To Pagal Hai", followed by "Taal" runs an institute in Mumbai where courses in these forms of dances are offered. The institute, called Shiamak Davar's Institute of Performing Arts (SDIP A), welcomes enthusiasts of almost any age.

Dancing has developed into a profession rather than mere art. There are a number of people who are making a living out of dances of every hue. Thanks to films and television, western dance has also become popular. Even a mix of Indian dance with that of western is also doing good business.
