Dance Epicure, Sri Lanka’s first Dinner Dance Theatre concept produced by With My Feet will entertain and delight participants at the Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo on April 2.
The vision and brainchild of the legendary Naomi Rajaratnam, the uniquely curated evening of dance and gastronomy produced by the Colombo Dance Theatre will feature a roster of extraordinary international and local dancers paired with a night of culinary delight.
The latest initiative by Naomi, the Colombo Dance Theatre comprises a company of elite international and local dancers woven firmly together by masterful choreography and a great love for dance.
Dance Epicure will not only be the Theatre’s inaugural performance, but also the first of its kind in Sri Lanka; where artfully choreographed dance segments will be performed between a four-course sit-down menu. The event will feature the likes of world-renowned dancers - namely five-time undefeated UK National Latin American Champions Gunnar Gunnarsson and Marika Doshoris, as well as Nauris Kalva and Manuja Hughes, Blackpool Open Smooth Champions - sharing the stage with the best Sri Lankan dancers from Naomi’s dance company With My Feet.
Naomi’s desire to uplift dancers from rural areas in Sri Lanka by providing them with the opportunities and spotlight they deserve has always been encapsulated in her dance showcases. It is with this vision in mind that Dance Epicure will also feature a heart-warming performance by the children of the Warehouse Project; an urban community solution in partnership with the Sri Narada Foundation.
