Discover the Untold Stories of Sri Lanka’s People: A Journey Through Culture, Resilience, and Hidden Strengths
Janaka Prasantha Dance School in Kandy, Sri Lanka
At the Janaka Prasantha Dance School in Kandy the clamour of a dance class outside distracted me from the comprehensive presentation relating to the history of dance in Sri Lanka. I excused myself and crept outside. A very well-disciplined group of children from tots to teenagers was going through a series of exercises linked to the dance routines they would learn/practice later. I grinned under the curious gaze of the participants and was rewarded with radiant smiles and muffled giggles. It was fascinating to watch the attention to detail regarding the precise placing of hands and feet. The children were learning set pieces that would then be stringed together to create a whole dance routine – as long or as short as desired.
