There are various postures in the dance form in which dancers need optimum muscle strength and adequate range of motion at required joints. Dancers need good body balance to maintain the postures. The main purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness between Otago exercise and Modified Otago exercise on dynamic balance among Bharatanatyam Dancers.

The inclusion criteria include only Female Bharatanatyam Dancers within the age group of 18–25 years. The recruited subjects were allocated into two groups, Group A received Otago exercise program and Group B received Modified Otago exercise program. The exercise program was given for 30 minutes per day for 8 weeks, before and at the end of the treatment session Star Excursion Balance test was assessed as outcome measure.
