The term '''"Dances of Manipur"''' covers the different aspects of the varying dance forms originated from the kingdom of [[Manipur]]. Many times the very term is often misunderstood and confused with the term [[Manipuri dance]]. In fact, [[Manipuri dance]] is a particular dance form while "Dances of Manipur" refer to any dance forms associated with [[Manipur]].
Jagoi, originally spelled as Chatkoi, is any traditional form of dancing in [[Manipuri culture]], especially performed by the devotees to please the deities.
