This tour gives you the opportunity to learn three traditional Sinhalese dance styles, taught by an experienced dance instructor. As you move through the session you'll explore Kandyan dance with its sharp, exacting movements, the Southern Plains style with slower, more exaggerated gestures, and the Sabaragamuwa tradition, which uses more flexible and active movements. The instructor will demonstrate each style and guide you through the core steps so you can feel how the techniques differ.
You will also try your talents at the drum and learn three different dance rhythms that accompany the movements. Along the way the instructor will help you connect the beats with the steps, so you can sense the relationship between rhythm and movement. The session finishes with snacks and refreshments, giving you a relaxed moment to rest and reflect on what you’ve practised.
