Gaudiya Nritya is a Bengali classical dance originating in Gaur, Bengal, the ancient capital of the region. Gaudiya Nritya is a composite art form representing the pre-colonial division of larger Bengal with a unique combination of music, history, poetry, literature, drama and rhythm.

Gaudiya Nritya, a classical dance of ancient Bengal, has roots in Bangladesh. To uphold this cultural legacy, Music, Dance and Recitation Department of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) arranged a seminar titled “Gaudiya Nritya: Classical Dance of Bengal” along with a dance workshop.
