APSARA DANCE Cambodia

- No visit to Cambodia is complete without attending at least one traditional Khmer dance performance, often referred to as 'Apsara Dance' after one of the most popular Classical dance pieces. Traditional Khmer dance is better described as 'dance-drama' in that the dances are not merely dance but are also meant to convey a story or message. There are four main modern genres of traditional Khmer dance: 1) Classical Dance, also known as Court or Palatine Dance (lakhon preah reach troap or lakhon luong); 2) Shadow theater (sbeik thom and sbeik toot); 3) Lakhon Khol (all-male masked dance-drama.); 4) Folk Dance (Ceremonial and Theatrical).
As evidenced in part by the innumerable apsaras (celestial dancers) that adorn the walls of Angkorian and pre-Angkorian temples, dance has been part of Khmer culture for well more than a millennium, though there have been ruptures in the tradition over the centuries, making it impossible to precisely trace the source of the tradition. Much of traditional dance (especially Classical) is inspired by Angkorian-era art and themes, but the tradition has not been passed unbroken from the age of Angkor. Most traditional dances seen today were developed in the 18th through 20th centuries, beginning in earnest with a mid-19th century revival championed by King Ang Duong (reigned 1841-1869). Subsequent Kings and other Khmer Royals also strongly supported the arts and dance, most particularly Queen Sisowath Kossamak Nearireach (retired King Norodom Sihanouk's mother) in the mid-20th century, who not only fostered a resurgence in the study and development of Khmer traditional dance, but also helped move it out of the Palace and popularize it.
Classical dance, including the famous 'Apsara dance,' has a grounded, subtle, even restrained, yet feather-light, ethereal appearance. Distinct in its ornate costuming, taut posture, arched back and feet, fingers flexed backwards, codified facial expressions, slow, close, deliberate but flowing movements, Classical dance is uniquely Khmer. It presents themes and stories inspired primarily by the Reamker (the Cambodian version of the Indian classic, the Ramayana) and the Age of Angkor.
The Apsara Dance is a Classical dance inspired by the apsara carvings and sculptures of Angkor and developed in the late 1940s by Queen Sisowath Kossamak. Her grand daughter and protégé, Princess Bopha Devi, was the first star of the Apsara Dance. The central character of the dance, the apsara Mera, leads her coterie of apsaras through a flower garden where they partake of the beauty of the garden. The movements of the dance are distinctly Classical yet, as the dance was developed for theatrical presentation, it is shorter and a bit more relaxed and flowing than most Classical dances, making it both an excellent example of the movements, manner and spirit of Classical dance and at the same time particularly accessible to a modern audience unaccustomed to the style and stories of Khmer dance-drama.
The hand movements are sign languages describing the story. There are about 5000 signs in traditional Khmer dance, the whole dance including body language and feet movement are included. It would be more enjoyable when u understand the meaning of it. I used to get bored when I was much younger. I enjoy it so much more and appreciate the beauty of it!
You are right. Most beautiful dance.
Divinely beautiful... Unique in the whole world. Thank God for the Khmer culture.
Khmer people are divinely beautiful! Touched by hand of God!
Thank you mr
In the past, Cambodia has never had anything like this before. Let's go back and look at it. Which is truly a shameful thing. Khmer tries to copy everything from Thailand. Plus stealing Thai culture. Khmer has never had a culture of its own from the past until the present. Even Angkor Wat belongs to the Thai-KHOM people. All Thai-KHOM people created them. The Khmers were the only slave race that immigrated from Malayu. When Thailand weakened its power Khmer slaves ruled the city of Phra Nakhon. And another thing is that Thai culture has been transferred to Khmer since the reign of King Rama II. Khmer people have only stupid people. Don't know how to create anything yourself. Nowadays, they are trying to criticize Thai culture without being ashamed and very cheeky. They do not know how to preserve their own traditional culture. Be careful, the Khmer nation will end because it was completely forgotten by Thai culture. 🙏🙏😭😭
Thanks for posting this video.
This is amazing....
រាំស្អាតណាស់
thank you for sharing your work and culture apsara
So Intensely Gorgeous!!!
รำสวยมากค่ะ
เสียดายผ้านุ่งแข็งมากไป เวลาร่ายรำแล้วมันยับยู่ยี่ไปหมด
กัมพูชาน่าจะหาวิธีปรับปรุงผ้านุ่งให้ทิ้งตัวมากกว่านี้ถึงจะสวย
เวลารำแล้วผ้ายับยู่ยี่ เสียดายรำสวยมาก
太漂亮了
I love cambodia Apsara dance.

Cambodia is such a beautiful country,
my girlfriend is from Phenom Penh,
I think one of her cousins is an Apsara dancer at one of these theatre restaurants,
not sure. where exactly, but I'm sure it's in Siem Reap,
beautiful dancers, beautiful music, beautiful country :)
i love you. apsara
nice dance
The woman's movement is so relaxing and smooth. Great dance, music, and video.
I know this place: Its a Buffet restaurant with Apsara Dancing in Siem Reap. I think so. I was there. Very nice.
I like apsara dance
The royal ballet of Cambodia has the best dancers. They only dance during special occasions and not for tourists.
I just tried doing that with my hands and my wrists cracked and popped like a bowl of krispy puffs. Props to the dancer!
If you tried that when you're an adult, RIP to your fingers. Most dancers have to start bending their fingers when they're still young ( 5 and above) to have such flexible fingers.

I have been doing travel photography of most major part of the world and seen many Royal dances in different countries but still believe Apsara is the best art of the world. Each movement is carefully planned and executed, such pleasant to the eyes.
my mom said every move, even every finger they move has a meaning

Really beautiful dance... One more reason to have real interest for the Khmer history...
នេះជាប្រពៃណីខ្មែរ
Yes this dance is 24 minutes long but if you have a chance to see the real professional dancers from the royal palace you will be wonders with ah 5000 thousand movements and the lyrics meaning what their movements are.....
Khmer history is not given enough credit for its influence on Southeast Asia, ❤️
what a beautiful dance. sad how children nowadays prefer to do tik tok than learning this kind of beauty. but, yeah, a change is always happening
Nice and harmonious
beatiful dance
So inspirational and divine. Truly magical!

whoever disliked this video is crazy
They're Thai who disliked.
+Vanny Rothanak i don't get what you're saying
***** why are you calling me a jealous Khmer and a Thai at the same time? makes no sense -_-
+Trey Wants Dat Ass because thai people always look down on cambodia and hate cambodian that why khmer people hate the rich country and they too much proud on their country and think that cambodia is a poorest country in southest asia
+Sengim Dann The pot calling the kettle black. Thailand is still a poor country lol.

ทำไมรำอัสราเขมร กับรำอัสราเขมรในประเทศไทยไม่เมือนกัน...ตกลงแบบไหนคือรำอัสราจริงยุคนครวัด....งง ...บอกแน
รำอัปสราในกัมพูชาได้ถูกดัดแปลงไปบางส่วนค่ะ
จากที่เจ้านางฝั่งไทยที่สมัยก่อนได้ลี้ภัยหนีข้อหาขบฏได้ไปเป็นชายาพระเจ้าอยู่หัวของฝั่งกัมพูชา
พระนางได้ขนคณะละครรำไปแทบไม่เหลือหลอ
แล้วกลายไปเป็นครูสอนดนตรีและการร่ายรำที่นั่น
คงจะผสมผสานวัฒนธรรม ท่วงท่าของไทยไปไม่น้อย
Has anyone tried speeding this up 3 or 4 times? Just out of interest.
Cambodia
Truthfully, her dancing was not good such as head and body moving and hands gesture either but really appreciate her for conserving our Khmer classical dance!
🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍😍

Balinese dance still the best dance
+Endra Magetan
Youre irrelevant????
+Tarou Yuu Khmer,thai,cambodian dances are same..but in asia i prefer Balinese dance & de music of gamelan because the way the dancers dancing..i like the movements of their eyes...
Endra Magetan
Thats irrelevant???
It doesnt matter if theyre of the same origin. Theyre completely different lmao
+Tarou Yuu the way they dance ar same the music and the movement their hands ..

Fake Apsara Dance. The original Apsara dance is fast and aggressive. They learnt this version from Thailand centuries ago.

slow motion no good. doesn`t show reality and out of tune with the music.
