Welcome to our vlog giving you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the preparation process for our traditional dance performance for the much-awaited Going Down party. This special event is held by medical students after completing their final exams and while waiting for results. In true Sri Lankan style, we kick off the Going Down celebrations with our traditional dance team's performance—something that is not only a tradition but also a celebration of our Sri Lankan culture.
Our dancing team, made up of dedicated medical students from the University of Ruhuna, has worked tirelessly to ensure our performance stands out as the very first act of the evening. As you know, the first performance sets the tone for the rest of the event, and we wanted to make sure we give our best to honor the traditions of our country. Kandyan dance, Pahatha Rata, and Sabaragamu dance are the three iconic dance styles we’ll be performing in this 6-minute spectacular display of Sri Lankan heritage.
Despite the limited time we had to rehearse, our medical student dancers put their heart and soul into perfecting every move. We know that as university students, our time is precious and often filled with academic pressures. But through this traditional dance, we found a way to express our creativity, embrace our culture, and come together as a team to deliver something extraordinary. It’s a beautiful way to break free from the rigors of medical faculty life and celebrate the vibrant student life we’ve lived over the years at the University of Ruhuna.
Our routine includes a mix of the iconic Kandyan dance, often referred to as Udarata, which is known for its powerful and energetic movements. The Pahatha Rata dance, which has a softer, graceful style, and finally, the Sabaragamu, which is often associated with rituals and ceremonies, each representing a unique part of our culture. Learning new steps, incorporating traditional rhythms, and coming together as a team to make this performance happen in such a short time has been an incredible experience. The excitement of blending modern-day student life with traditional dance has made this journey so much more rewarding.
As medical students at the University of Ruhuna, we understand the importance of balancing hard work with moments of joy. This traditional dance team has been an essential part of our journey, reminding us that there’s more to university life than just studying for exams. The performances are a reflection of our unity, resilience, and dedication—not just as future doctors, but as proud representatives of our Sri Lankan heritage.
The Going Down party is a time to celebrate the completion of our exams, and for us, it's the perfect opportunity to showcase our pride in both our education and our culture. The traditional dance performance is an embodiment of the memories we've created together and a tribute to our Sri Lankan roots. It's a way of expressing ourselves as university students, and we’re thrilled to share this experience with everyone at the event.
This vlog offers you a sneak peek into our preparations for this special performance. From practice sessions to overcoming challenges in the limited time we had, it’s been a journey full of passion and teamwork. Our dancing team has truly poured everything into this performance, and we can’t wait to present it at the Going Down party.
