These artistes may be classified into the following ten different types:

(1) The Artiste Supreme, (2) The Artiste Creative, (3) The Artiste Interpretative, (4) The Artiste student; (5) The Artiste Imitative, (6) The Artiste Workman, (7) The Artiste Egoist, (8) The Artiste Dilettantes, (9) The Artiste Juvenile and (10) The Artiste self-styled.

1. The Artiste Supreme

Genius in art is a complete fusion of creative ability and interpretative talent. Such art geniuses are rare, as the two faculties require unification of diverse talents such as patience, high imagination, thorough knowledge of the art, all the external graces necessary for dance personality, diligence and the capacity of hard and strenuous work. Such great geniuses are often dreamers who are highly unconventional in their behaviour and often eccentric in their temperament. Their experiences may or may not conform to an age or to a civilization or to a race or even to a nation. Such geniuses may be even out of place in the present-day world because their notions and philosophies may run counter to accepted thoughts and ideas. Hence they are deemed as dreamy and impractical. 

Yet they are symbolic of the nation's art treasure, and therefore deserve all our veneration. They are therefore the Artistes Supreme.

2. The Artiste Creative

A genius of the creative type may not be capable of interpretation, specially so in dance.
