From Sri Lanka to Aotearoa: Celebrating 50 Years of Dance and Drums

Petone Neighbourhood Hub
Event Description
Join us for a performance by the Sri Lankan Dance Academy. SLDA is charitable organisation founded by Mrs Dayani Gonsalkorale in 1975 celebrating 50 years of operation this year.
It began as an initiative to pass on the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka to the younger generations growing up in Aotearoa. It has since culminated into a place of preservation and growth where children can confidently immerse in both the dance and drums of Sri Lanka.
