Discover the Untold Stories of Sri Lanka’s People: A Journey Through Culture, Resilience, and Hidden Strengths
The culmination of the presentation was series of dances featuring drummers (also made and taught here) and experienced dancers in fabulous costumes. Danuka Ariyawansa was the main dancer and I was able to discover more about the school from him. Danuka works for Emirates Airline as cabin crew but takes part in demonstrations and dance performances as often as he can. Prior to COVID attendance at this school was free but now parents who can afford to make a donation are requested to do so. The school does get a grant from the government but not nearly enough to keep them going. The passion and excitement of the dancing was a strong contrast to my spiritual experience in the cave temple at Rideegama.
