Kandyan dancing originates from the hill country. The male dancers wear elaborate, shining silver headdresses and perform highly athletic, acrobatic leaps to the rapid beat of the wooden Geta Bera drum, historically to entertain royalty.

Low Country dancing, from the southern coastal regions, is deeply rooted in shamanic healing rituals. The dancers wear terrifying, brightly painted wooden masks representing disease demons, moving to the echoing sounds of the Yak Bera drum to perform exorcisms.
