English term or phrase: lord of the dance
Greetings,

I've been trying to discover the name for Shiva in the specific role of lord of the dance.

Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Natarajar_at_chidambaram....

I'm rather surprised, as I've tried googling both नाटराजा and नृत्यराजा with no success whatsoever – perhaps a completely different word is used?

All the best,

Simon
