Over the last few weeks, “The Story Project in Dance” has travelled to each of the National Youth Counsel locations in Sri Lanka: Maharagama – Colombo, Eraminiyaya - Hambantota, and Bellwood – Kandy. We have been meeting, working and sharing together with these amazing future dance teachers, focusing on movement qualities, some technical questions as well as choreographic tools.
 
Invincible Dance Studio Director Dileepa Ariyarathna has been a primary organizer of the project and the teacher on location in Sri Lanka. His commitment toward the project and enthusiasm to develop the Sri Lankan dance community have been fantastic, and we wholeheartedly appreciate the effort and commitment to this project!
 
Another organizer of the project, Hurja Piruetti Dance Institute (Finland), started building a bridge between Finland and Sri Lanka through the medium of dance in 2019 with Derana TV. Since that first cultural exchange program, Hurja Piruetti Dance Institute has continued artistic and educational collaborations with young Sri Lankan dancers, of which “Story Project in Dance” is the latest one.
