According to the Natyashastra, which of the following is characterised by body movements to music without expressions (Abhinay)?
Nritta
According to the Natyashastra, Nritta refers to pure dance — body movements set to music without any expressive meaning (Abhinay).
Natya involves dramatic storytelling, Nritya combines expression with movement, and Kuchipudi is a specific classical dance form, not the general term being asked.
Hence, Nritta is the correct answer.
