TÄṇá¸ava or TÄṇá¸ava ná¹›tya, the divine art form, is a dance performed by the god Shiva, who is revered by Hindus.
In the Hindu texts, at least seven types of Tandava are found:
In Bharata Natyam, the national dance of India - The symbolism of the dance of Shiva (in the form of Nataraja) is represented by the attitude called "Ananda Tandavam"
While the Rudra Tandava depicts Lord Shiva's violent nature, first as the creator and later as the destroyer of the universe, even of death itself; the Ananda Tandava depicts him as the enjoyer of his creation - the universe.
The cast of Tandava Krishnudu - 1984 includes: Sridevi Akkineni Nageshwara Rao

The Hymn to Shiva are quite a few, however most popular of these are following.First one is the Shiva mantra 'Aum Namaḥ Śivāya', Its short and easy to remember and hence is used as a prayer for Lord Shiva by most of the Hindus.Second one is a bit long, it's titled as the Shiv Tandav Stotram. It is a prayer written by the Rakshasa King Ravana in the praise of Lord Shiva. You can find a youtube link to the Tandava Stotra in related links.Even though 'Aum Namaḥ Śivāya' is a short mantra and cannot be sung as a prayer however it still fulfills the specifications of a hymn and can be considered as a hymn.
The Sanskrit word, 'Shiven' means 'of LORD SHIVA'. Shiva is an adjective meaning auspicious, kind, gracious. Shiva is a major Hindu god. In the Shaiva tradition of Hinduism, Shiva is seen as supreme God. Followers of Hinduism who focus their worship upon Shiva are called Shaivites or Shaivas. Shiva is usually worshipped in the form of 'Shiva linga'. In images, he is generally represented as immersed in deep meditation or dancing the Tandava upon maya, the demon of ignorance in his manifestation of Nataraja, the lord of the dance. In some other Hindu denominations, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva represent the three primary aspects of the divine in Hinduism and are collectively known as the Trimurti or trinity. In this school of religious thought, Brahma is the creator, Vishnu is the maintainer or preserver, and Shiva is the destroyer or transformer.
