Indian dance styles

In India there are eight different dance styles. They are Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kathakali, Kuchipudi, and Odissi. The dance style Bharatanatyam was brought to life in the 21st century. The first person who danced Bharatanatyam first was Rajeswari Tress. The dance called Kathak is a type of dance where the form traces its origins to the nomadic bards of ancient northern India, known as storytellers. The dance style called Kathakali is where you pick a character and act with it for example drama. The dance style Kuchipudi is popular all over south india and is a classical dance style. The dance style Odissi is one of the eight classical dance forms and it originates from the state of Odisha, in eastern india. If I were to choose one of these dance styles to dance I would choose Bharatanatyam because it was the first dance style invented in India. If you were to choose one of these dance styles to dance which one would you choose?
