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.

Here is a list of the "Chatkoi"s ("Jagoi"s) :
