Dancing in Cambodia - Chea Samy

The Cambodian Classical Dance Academy, 1994. Shows Chea Samy, in her day Cambodia's pre-eminent classical dancer and one of the few dancers to survive the Khmer Rouge years, training aspiring young dancers.
Chea Samy was also Pol Pot's sister-in-law, something she only realised when a picture of the former Saloth Sar was put up at the commune where she had been sent after the fall of Phnom Penh.
For more, read Amitav Ghosh's superb essay "Dancing in Cambodia," in Granta #44, or in the book "Dancing In Cambodia, At Large In Burma."

Wow my country

[@AHHUAT2]

probably one of the toughest traditional dances in south east asia. the thai and javanese dances quite similar to the khmer dance. considered it's longer in history. the Angkor empire was much further than most kingdoms in indo china and south east asia like indonesia sri vajiya empire.. the cham people were also descendents to acehese and java people..
