    • Low Country dance Tradition
    • Sabaragamu Country dance Tradition

  • Out of these three traditions, my favorite dance tradition is low country dance tradition.
 


  • This dance tradition is prevalent in the Southern Province.

  This Pinkam is organized by our dancing class. This Dhanamaya Pinkama is done in the month of January before the start of the new year classes. Before we do this Dhanamaya Pinkama the class is painted and cleaned. The older students in the class participate in the class cleaning work and parents also help. This dhanamaya pinkama has been held every year for three years now. The monks are brought in by playing hevisi.  At the last dhanamaya pinkama, we offered a casket to the temple.🙏 Many children in the class will attend this day.

The concert is held every three years. The concert has been held three times. This is a huge dance show with over 150 students in our dancing class. This was held for the third time on March 06, 2019 at the Maharagama National Youth Services Council Theater under the name ''Gamiraga prathiba 2019''. Since I was a student in this dancing class, I was also able to attend this concert. I am glad I was able to attend all three dance concerts organized by this class.
