It was a day of festivity at the Craft Exotica 2011 in Sandakan

The Cocos Community showcased their Dansa and Melenggok Dance at Sandakan on May 5, 2011 on the occasion of the Craft Exotica 2011 Opening Ceremony. The group from Kg Balung Cocos, Tawau made the performance made possible by the Malaysian Historical Society Sabah Branch and the Sabah Muzium who provided the necessary funding. A job well done!
