Travel Review: Sri Lanka's traditional Kandyan dance perfectly encapsulates the passion, creativity and resilience of its people
A barefooted boy saunters to the front of the hall, holding a two-headed geta beraya drum that almost spans his entire frame. His focused and determined face suggests a maturity beyond his teenage years. He closes his eyes and inhales. This morning, I'm joining pupils at Madyama Lanka Nruthya Mandalaya — a cultural academy hidden in the mountains outside Amunugama. Together, we watch the drummer's bare hands crash down onto the barrel-shaped instrument, heralding the start of our class in traditional Kandyan dance — a hypnotic art form that originated nearby in Kandy, the last capital of the Sri Lankan kings.

Ibiza final boss questions 'What just happened' after Bonnie Blue bombshell meet up
Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay has shared a cryptic post with fans just days after his surprise meet up with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue. Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay has reflected on his rollercoaster ride to fame, just days after his first awkward meeting with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue. The 26-year-old, who became an internet sensation overnight for his Lego style haircut, appeared bewildered as he took to Instagram today to ask his fans: "What just happened?" The Geordie star has now signed up for management, released his own dance track, partied with celebs and flown to Ibiza in a private jet with his pals in the space of just a few days. It's hard to believe that just a couple of weeks ago, he was just an ordinary young guy looking forward to a holiday on the Spanish party island with his friends, the Mirror reports. For anyone who has been living under a rock, Jack skyrocketed to fame earlier this month after images of him partying the night away in Ibiza went viral. He's been lapping up his new found fame and using every opportunity he can to make it last. Sharing a random snap of a perfectly trimmed tree in a hilarious nod to his incredible bowl cut, Jack mused on Instagram: "Two weeks ago, I went on a lads' holiday and someone took a video of me on the Dance Floor. Was it a dream? What just happened?" It comes just days after Jack met up with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue on the party island, in what appeared to be a very awkward interaction. The cringeworthy clip shows Jack with his arm around Bonnie while he is facing his head away from her. They can also be seen making awkward conversation while standing fairly far apart. In a since-deleted video, Bonnie revealed: "It was my shortest video yet. I was shocked how nervous he was." Jack's newfound fanbase had previously issued caution over meeting with Bonnie after she left a seemingly suggestive comment on one of his Instagram posts. Jack uploaded a post of him bopping along in a car with his mates as he captioned it: "The final boss can't be slayed… your misses on the other hand? Her levels been completed." Former OnlyFans star Bonnie, who is known for using ragebait as a marketing strategy, seized the opportunity and commented a suggestive eyes emoji beneath the video. Bonnie has become famous for taking part in extreme sex stuns, which have previously included sleeping with 1,057 men in the space of just 12 hours. However, in recent months, she has found herself permanently banned from OnlyFans after she announced her plans to hold a human "petting zoo challenge". This stunt would have seen Bonnie locked in a glass cage, inviting strangers to come and do "whatever they wanted" to her. In Channel 4's show '1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story' - which led to hundreds of Ofcom complaints - Bonnie bragged: "I am going to be completely helpless, tied down, gagged, choked". OnlyFans had concerns about this stunt, which it claims was in violation of its Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service, and so issued the permanent ban.
