Kota Kinabalu: The Sri Lankan group from the Ranranga Dance Academy has made this promise: "We have no doubt that our talented artists will perform memorable shows and astonish you with their performance." Gaminie Basnayake, Folk Manager & Charge de International Relations, says the Academy is a well recognised aesthetic institute in Sri Lanka since 1994, developing students' expertise in traditional and folk dancing."We have been sending our artists to many festivals and functions held both home and overseas, representing Sri Lanka in more than 45 international events which are recognised by international folk and cultural organisations," the manager said.
