According to legends, the Kandyan dance originated from the dance ritual known as Kohombayakkankariya. Kohombayakkankariya is simply a pacification performed to cure diseases. In this way Kandyan dances have been created by combining various elements. Kandyan dance has become more and more nourished by adding 18 Wannams and folk dances. Kanduan Dance has been able to make it even more beautiful by using the knot drums and poems. At our institute, you have the opportunity to gain knowledge of the Sri Lankan traditional Kandyan dances, folk dances, folk songs and drumming . We also cover the National Dance Examinations and the school syllabuses.

Here we have paid special attention to the Gataberaya and Tammattama used in the Kandyan dance. It is very important for students studying Kandyan dance to master the Gataberaya and Tammattama. This is part of the school curriculum and requires regular training.
