Colombo dazzled by Technique Colour!

When vibrant colour, rhythmic moves and glamorous variety set the boards ablaze at the Lionel Wendt!

If you missed it, you missed out on one of the most stunning dance productions of the year! As always, Kanthi Ranchigoda delivered beyond expectations with yet another fabulous mega production ‘Technique Colour’ which was held at the Lionel Wendt from the 20th to the 22nd of October. It was entertainment of jaw- dropping standards from start to finish when over a hundred exceptionally talented dancers in ages ranging from 2 ½ to 25 years, presented 23 stunningly different dance items, each unique and incandescent in its own way!

There were fluorescent peacocks on point, there were fiery flamenco dancers, classical ballerinas and of course the grand finale which featured a variety of north and south Indian dance routines in stunningly designed, contrasting Indian costumes!

A delight to behold, were the many classical ballet routines performed exquisitely by the youngsters as well as the senior students. Other items such as tap dance, jazz ballet, freestyle, jive, hip-hop and stylized dance items such as ‘ puppets on a string’ brought variety and energy to the show!

Kanthi’s youngest students stole the show with their endearing, immensely cute enthusiasm and received roaring applause while the senior girls left the audience breathless with awe. As breathtaking as the dance routines were, the fabulous costumes and music took the event to a whole new level of entertainment.

Decked in every shade and hue, from neons to metallics, from pastel shades to burnished hues from gentle sparkles to outright shimmers, Kanthi Ranchigoda’s students outdid themselves on every level leaving the audience delightfully mesmerized on all three nights. Having been a student of classical ballet herself, Kanthi Ranchigoda started teaching classical ballet over 37 years ago and over the years adopted freestyle, tap, jazz, hip-hop, bollywood and contemporary movement to her repertoire. She also conducts aerobics and stay-fit classes for all ages. We look forward to Kanthi’s next production two years from now.

The proceeds of the event were donated to SUROL Sri Lanka – The Society for Upliftment and Rehabilitation of Leprosy Affected Persons. Technique Colour – Kanthi Ranchigoda
