About the Directress

 

Shiromi Perera Dayaparan - Directress of  “ Rhythm World Dance Studio”,  first  commenced her dancing career in Kandyan Dancing at ‘Chithrasena School of Dance'  at the age of  seven- a passion which continued into her school career  for a period of more than eight years under the guidance of  Ms. Rathna Rajapakse – daughter of  well known veteran dancer, ‘Sri Jayana'.

After a four year stay overseas along with the family,  upon her return she  decided to continue her dancing, but with a difference.   Instead of returning to Kandyan dancing  Shiromi turned her attention to Latin American and Ballroom dancing -   where her real passion lies – a passion that has brought her  this far in such a short time.

 

The Beginning

A decision was taken to locate the dancing classes at the Lions' Club International Hall, Rajagiriya with a view to commencing a ‘Dance Studio' on a much larger scale on a sound, permanent footing – as the “RHYTHM WORLD DANCE STUDIO” .

However, taking into consideration the larger number of students attending classes and the convenience of the students, the Dance Studio was once again re-located to a much larger hall in Colombo 07. The success of this venture has been proved beyond any doubt over the past years with several ‘dance courses' of different levels being conducted at present in addition to a weekly practice session.

The success of the ‘Rhythm World Dance Studio' in so short a time has been due not only to the dedicated efforts of its Directress but to the co-operation, interest and goodwill shown by its students, both past and present ! The loyalty and humane togetherness that prevails in the Dance Studio, both at dance sessions and outside, is really unmatchable !!!

 

The Students

The students of Rhythm World have so far been a bunch of happy, lively students keen on mastering the techniques of good dancing while, at the same time, dancing their cares away –  gaining human fellowship -  Dancing  for Friendship, Fitness and Fun !

Developing a Step That Everyone Wants to Learn

Shiromi's  earnest wish is  that all who are involved and interested in dancing get together to form one large family so as to spread the message of harmony and goodwill while dancing their cares away !”.
