Start by understanding the cultural context and relevance of the dance. For example, several Indian classical dances originated as temple based dances and therefore still continue to utilise several temple worship formalities and rituals. Learn under a teacher who is well experienced and able to guide you through the nuances to the best of his or her abilities. Don't be afraid to ask questions to deepen your understanding and watch a lot of dance performances to engage with different techniques and styles other than the one you are learning. Best wishes. read less
