The Kandyan cultural dance tradition represents the ceremonial performing arts of the Sinhalese highland kingdom – Ves dancing, fire-walking, plate-spinning, and the hypnotic rhythms of traditional drumming, all executed in elaborate brass-ornamented costumes by performers whose training spans decades. Island Pulse Travels includes evening Kandyan cultural performances in its Kandy-based itineraries and can arrange more intimate, private-setting performances for groups seeking a deeper cultural encounter with this extraordinary tradition.
