On the 26th of February this year the Sri Lanka Girl Guides Association presented ‘Dance Aid’ in aid of the Tsunami Victims. Contrary to the misconception that there might not be a demand for tickets, my colleague Raomal was pleasantly surprised to find that he actually ran short of tickets.
Meanwhile, some of my friends who decided to see if they could get tickets at the gate were turned away disappointed. It show was a sellout!
I went along with my sister and a friend and we had a wonderful evening of entertainment. Sri Lanka does have loads of talent. We should certainly have more shows of this caliber. There were 20 dance items in all with a half hour break in between; with a mix of ballroom, Latin, eastern, street and techno dancing.
The ‘With my Feet’ troupe was absolutely WONDERFUL. The dance movements were fluid, confident, seemingly effortless and mesmerizing to say the least, while the costumes and the choreography were great. Antonio’s Dance Circle, El Latino and Dance World also participated, though With My Feet were the top of the charts for me. The hall resounded with the thunderous applause after each of their acts. Well done all around. Well done indeed!
