We went to this show while holidaying in Sri Lanka and were really impressed with the dancers . Not only their dance and acrobatic ability but also their obvious enjoyment of what they were doing. The show was exciting and professionally executed ending with several dancers walking over hot coals. This was a real highlight of our holiday.

So good! Great to see all different dances from around Sri Lanka! The dancers are all amazing, really professional and entertaining. You can get beer and crisp during the shoe and the drumming is great. Well worth it! Just a quick and cheap tuk tuk ride from the center

Brilliant show. Was not expecting so many different acts. Loved the female dancers outfits in blue, green and pink. The fure eaters and fire walkers were amazing. Highly recommend this show.

Entertaining and informative, the Kandy Lake Cultural Dance Show puts on an informative and engaging one-hour dance session. Upon arrival, you can expect to find a program breaking down the one-hour program in multiple languages. The theatre is clean and has an airy amphitheater style. We attended the session with two children, aged 8 and 5 and both found the show very entertaining. The costumes for each dance are stunning and different sections of the program keep everyone engaged. The peacock and fire-eating dances were a hit for the children. You are also able to purchase beverages and small snacks before the start of the program. The bathrooms on site are spotless. Highly recommend it if you are in Kandy.

It was an excellent show. Hats off to the drumming team who played endlessly throughout the show. The male and female performers were all very skilled. Costumes were very beautiful. The acrobatics team and the firewalkers stole the show. Perfect time management also. Overall it was very well put-together and executed.

A well-produced and executed performance that gave us insights into old Kandy culture. The music and drumming were captivating, and the dancing seemed flawless. A simple written program adequately explained the meaning and origins of each of the approximately 12 dances. A surprise performance culminated the evening. Bravo to this group that helps preserve the old Sri Lankan traditions!

Really enjoyable hour of varied and on occasions, frenzied dancing with elaborate costumes. Great to be provided with a sheet explaining the history and significance of each dance. Walking on coals provided a great finale.

Had a great time at Kandy Lake Club. The Dance, music, costumes, skill and energy were all fantastic. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kandy - it's a great hour of entertainment whether or not you want to learn a bit about traditional Sri Lankan dance.

Beautiful costumes and interesting dances and cultural sharing. About one hour long and well worth seeing. My only caveat was the final act which involved kerosene and flames and really stunk up the auditorium and I feel maybe detracted from the whole show. Others will likely disagree and children will love the final act. The best seats at the front are reserved by large tour groups. There is a simple program for free in many languages. I would go again.

Entrance fee is 2000 LKR per person. Came early but noted chairs with best view options had reservation cards on them. I I ended seating at the second level, was able to move to the front seat when the person reserved it for did not show up. The show started around 5:10 pm, one presentation after the other. There were graceful hand movements, tumblings, singing, acrobatic balancing of plates, eating fire, walking on burning coals, etc. The dances were accompanied by music made by the drummers and trumphet. The show ended in an hour, highly recommended to watch this show.
