Class 8 Arts Kriti Chapter 10 NCERT Solutions Overview
Inner Dynamics of Dance explains how breath, stillness and motion work together in dance. The PDF keeps every answer source-based and easy to write in a school notebook.
The chapter introduces prana, pranayama, sthana, chari, gati and karana through short explanations and classroom activities. The main idea is that dance is not only outer movement. It also depends on breathing, balance, emotion and body awareness.
- Breath helps dancers balance, stretch, contract and hold posture.
- Stillness and motion create the start, travel and finish of a dance phrase.
- Postures can be standing, sitting or reclining.
- Chari and gati help students describe movement and character gait.
Breath, Stillness and Motion in Inner Dynamics of Dance
The chapter begins with the idea of prana, or vital breath. Breathing relaxes the spine and helps the body move with agility and stability. A dancer may expand with an inhale, soften or contract with an exhale, and hold a static posture with steady breathing.
Stillness is not treated as a lack of dance. It is a controlled pause where the body remains alert. Motion then connects one shape to another. Activity 10.1 uses this idea by asking students to observe breathing in stillness and movement.
Dance Texts and Movement Vocabulary
The NCERT chapter refers to classical Indian dance texts such as the Natyashastra, Sangita Ratnakara and Abhinaya Darpanam. These texts show that dance has a long tradition of naming and organising movement.
Students do not need to memorise every technical detail, but they should understand why these names appear in the chapter. The terms help describe how a dancer stands, moves, travels and combines body positions.
- Sthana: a posture or position of the body.
- Chari: coordinated leg movement used in dance.
- Gati: a gait or way of moving through space.
- Karana: a unit where posture and movement are combined.
Postures, Chari, Gati and Karana
The chapter explains postures as standing, sitting and reclining positions. Activity 10.2 asks students to observe posture from picture references. Activity 10.3 asks them to create character-based poses from everyday life.
Motion in dance includes direction, level, speed, extension, leap and turn. Karana then connects posture and movement into one meaningful unit of dance.

Common Mistakes in Chapter 10 Answers
Students often write only performance ideas and skip the exact chapter term. A better answer names the activity, gives the NCERT detail and then adds a short explanation.
- Do not define breath vaguely. Mention relaxed spine, expansion, contraction and expression.
- Do not mix stillness with inactivity. Stillness is an alert controlled posture.
- Do not confuse chari and gati. Chari is movement through the legs, while gati is a character gait.
- Do not call karana only a pose. It combines hands, feet, posture and movement.
