An~kor' "Dance. Tr'o'-lpe., Inc.
History and Background
/ ike all traditional arts, Cambodian classical and folk dance has
/...!Jen passed down from one generation to the next. Since the
Angkor Era, Cambodian dancers and musicians have preserved,
cherished, and celebrated their art.
The Angkor Dance Troupe was formed
For' Cambodian~,
in 1986 in Lowell, MA by two teachers
ar'f i~ +he cor'e of
and a handful of dancers who learned
life, combining
traditional Cambodian Dance in
enfer'fainmen+,
refugee camps along the Thai-
fr'adifion, r'eligion,
Cambodian border. Between 1975, and
and ~ocial cohe~ion.
1979, when Pol Pot and the Khmer
Rouge controlled Cambodia, many dancers and musicians perished
or fled the country. It was in the camps and later in places like Lowell
and at the University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh that traditional
Cambodian dance was painstakingly resurrected.
Today, dance has become one of the primary ways that Cambodians,
split by politics and war, identify a common culture. For Cambodians,
art is the core of life, combining entertainment, tradition, religion,
and social cohesion. Wherever Cambodians live, so do the traditions
of practicing, performing, and passing on the culture.

�classi<;:
Dan '
C
ambodian classical dance has been associated with the
court of Cambodia for more than one thousand years.
During the great Angkor civilization, the dancers of the Khmer
royal ballet made offerings while performing during rituals and
ceremonies before sacred idols.
In court dance, we see highly-stylized positions in concert with
gentle movements. Gestures are strictly defined and distinguished
by the intricacy of hand positions.
Each of these gestures has a specific meaning, often relating to
nature. For example "Lea" can denote a leaf, but it can also mean
"to open." (See right hand in photo below.) Depending on its
context within the dance, Lea can represent the leaf and its beauty
or the opening of a hand or a piece of paper.
"Cheep" (left hand in photo) can symbolize
a flower or it can mean to fold into
small pleats.
3
�F
olk dance is rooted in rural Cambodia and reflects the life
and spirit of peasants. Throughout Cambodia, after the
harvest is over, it is time for music, song, and dance. Dance motifs
are commonly based on local legends and inspired by themes of
nature as well as the ceremonies, customs, and rituals of everyday
life. Just as court dance is ruled by a strict form and a prescribed
language of movement, folk dance is spontaneous, created for
emotional expressions.
The folk dances performed by the Angkor Dance Troupe were refined
by the University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. Researchers collected
dances and music from all over the country and then choreographed
dances that were suited to staged performances.

�A Leader in Traditional Cambodian Dance
The mission of the Angkor Dance Troupe is to preserve and
develop the traditions of Cambodian performing arts, to promote
an understanding and appreciation of Cambodian culture, and to
provide a positive social, cultural, and recreational outlet for
Cambodian youth.
The Angkor Dance Troupe is recognized throughout New England
as a leading Cambodian folk and classical dance ensemble.
The Troupe's artistic director, Phousita S. Huy is one of the mostrespected master teachers of Cambodian dance in the U.S.
She is a recently-emigrated star performer from the University of
Fine Arts in Phnom Penh, which is considered the cultural source
and artistic standard bearer of Cambodian performing arts. Troupe
coordinator and cofounder Tim Chan Thou was trained and
certified as a teacher of Cambodian traditional dance from
Khao-1-Dang and Philippine Refugee Centers.

�An Extensive Collection of Authentic Costumes
The Dance Troupe has assembled an extensive collection of
authentic costumes, dance materials, artifacts, and documentation.
The Troupe's principal costumer, Phalik Ting, learned Khmer classical dance in Camp Sakeo, Thailand. Costumers from the University of
Fine Arts in Phnom Penh have also made costumes for the Troupe.
Preparing for a performance can
take several hours. Many
Cambodian dance costumes are
so intricate and close-fitting that
dancers have to be sewn into
them before performances.

�Carrying on the Tradition
Over a dozen performances and public events have been scheduled
to date in 1997, including workshops and residency programs in
several public schools. Instructor Tim Chan Thou believes teaching in
the schools is vitally important. "This is how we plant the seeds of
interest in traditional culture," said Thou. "This is how we develop in
young people an appreciation for our heritage, and ultimately it's our
best hope to keep Cambodian dance alive."
Members of the Angkor Dance Troupe rehearse at the Madelon
Curtis Dance Studio in downtown Lowell.
The Troupe holds weekly rehearsals. For four hours every Sunday,
members gather to practice. The method of teaching is practiced as
it has been done traditionally, by watching, imitation, and assistaoce
from teachers to achieve the correct postures and movement.
Through the dance instruction, students learn about Cambodian
culture. From the folk dances, they learn about geography and a
daily life in Cambodia that they have never experienced. From the
classical or court dances they experience revered ancient traditions.
11
�Cambodian tradition prescribes
a particular relationship
between student and teacher,
a relationship that is repeated
in the relationships of children
to parents, and young people to
elders. Students are respectful
of teachers and of the knowledge they possess. They appreciate the chance to learn and
understand their responsibility
for carrying on their culture.

�We would like to
honor and thank
Thoeun (Tlnl) Thou
and Kolab Yin
for their dedication to
continuing the tradition
of Canlbodian dance.
Many people have made valuable contributions to the
Angkor Dance Troupe1 but without the sustained
commitment of Thoeun and Kolab over the past decade1
the Troupe would not have survived.
Despite the difficulties and hardships1 they have never
given up in their belief that Cambodian traditional dance
has meaning and value for future generations.
With respect and appreciation1 we give them our thanks.

�Apsara Dance
Apsara is a central symbol of Cambodian culture. In the great Angkor
civilization, the beautiful celestial dancers of the temple represented the
prayers and linked the human world to omnipotent deities. Hundreds of
bas-relief Apsara carvings can still be seen on the walls of Cambodia's
national treasure, the temples of Angkor Wat.
The Apsara Dance is based on the Angkor Wat sculptures. It is a dance
for special occasions, originally performed only for the royal families of
Cambodia. In the dance, we see Mera, dressed in white for purity,
dancing in her garden with her handmaidens, also Apsaras. The
golden flowers they carry symbolize the happiness and well-being of
Cambodian people.
�The Coconut Shell Dance
Coconut trees are a main
agricultural resource in
Cambodia. They provide
sustenance to Khmer farmers
and are abundant in villages.
Inspired by a popular game
called Coconut Shell, the
Coconut Dance originated in
the province of Svay Rieny, the
eastern part of Cambodia. In
its original form, it was a oneman show. In the modern-day
dance, an equal number of male and female dancers performs
the dance, signifying friendship and courtship.

Good Crops Dance
This folk dance comes from a minority tribe called Phnorng that lives in
the hilly plateaus and forests of the Mundulkiri and Tarankiri provinces
of Cambodia. The Good Crops dance depicts a delightful episode of
choosing the fields for crops. The dance, through its movements and
gesture, celebrates the hope for a productive harvest.
Expression of Sentiment Dance
Choreographed by the late dance master Chea Samy, this dance was
originally created to provide dance students with a wide range of
expressions and sentiments. It has also been performed by professional dancers as an addition to their repertoire of court dances. The
theme depicts courting actions and, as it concludes, the sadness of
two lovers separated.

�The Butterfly Dance
In Cambodia, a young Khmer hunter captures a butterfly, intrigued by its
color and motion. But when the hapless helpless creature begs for mercy,
he lets it go. And so the Butterfly Dance symbolizes both the curiosity and
the compassion of Cambodian people. The graceful gestures and polite
manner. The willingness to always help and support one another. And
above all, the desire to live in peace and harmony.
Moni Mekhala Dance
According to Cambodian legend, thunder and lightning result from the
eternal battle between the Goddess Moni Mekhala and her adversary,
the storm demon Ream Eyso. One of the most sacred dances in the
Cambodian classical repertory, Moni Mekhala is still performed as a
ceremony to pray for rain.
A
tradition in the

�Khen Dance
This is a dance of courtship. In a region of Cambodia along the
border with Lao, people frequently play an instrument called the
khen or mouth organ. In this dance, men play the mouth organs to
serenade women. Not able to resist, the ladies touch the flowers
hanging from the khen and fall in love.
Chhoy Chhay Dance
Chhouy Chhay is the name of an adolescent princess dancer with
perfect beauty in all aspects. Her dance, voice, figure, and attitude are
rare and unmatched in the world. This choreography demonstrates her
delicate and gentle dance during her promenade in the forest.
e peacock is a symbol of
happiness in the region of
Pailin, which borders Thailand.
The dance is thought to bring
prosperity to villagers and for
that reason the dance is performed
during the New Year and at other
Peacock
of Pailin
ceremonies and festivals. The original
performance of this dance was adapted
from a tale involving a peacock and a
hunter and was danced with both
dancing and chasing actions.
When it was brought to the University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh,
some of the original elements were eliminated and new elements
added. The theme was changed and now the dance embodies courtship.
Tep Monorum Dance
This dance, often considered the most beautiful in the classical
repertory, embodies the well being, friendship, and prosperity of
Cambodian people.

Siem Riep Province. It is a dance that celebrates the harvest. The
pestle and mortar are used in Cambodia as an old-fashioned way to
mill rice paddies. Usually two people, each with a pestle, pound
alternatively in a constant rhythm, an action which provided the
basis for the modern day dance.
Ch hay Yam Dance
Chhayam is a comic country dance. After the harvest, Khmer
peasants and farmers gather in ceremonies and festivals to
celebrate. Chhayam is performed to enliven and add levity to these
celebrations. Its exciting rhythm encourages dancers to improvise
their steps and gestures.

1) The Blessing Dance
Dancers: Heng Noeuk, Rancia Phin, Sopharl Ngin, Rathanee Yean, Monica Veth
It is dance of greeting and good wishes. During the performance, the dancers come forward and
sprinkle flower petals toward the audience. This is done in the hope brining prosperity, peace,
and good health to everyone in the audience.
2) The Coconut Shell Dance
Dancers: Povtda Pech, Sodany Krouch, Paulina Srey, Linda Hong, Channa Sath
Samnang Hor, Zenith Rith, Sanny Meas, Rothna Mao, Vyrik Eng
The dance was inspired by a popular game that used coconut shells. The game was played during all kind
of ceremonies, but most often during weddings, engagements, and when the groom was escorted in a
procession to the bride's house. The Coconut Shell dance is one of the most popular and well known on
the Cambodian folk dance. In its original form, it was a one-man show. In the modem-day dance, an
equal number of male and female dancers perform the dance, signifying friendship and courtship. The
Khmer-language lyrics, the words that accompany the song-speak to how the coconut is the heart of the
Cambodian people.
3) Tep Monorom Dance (The Happiness of the Gods)
Dancers: Linda Sou, Sophy Leng, Khakhada Hom, Elizabeth Yim
Monica Veth, Sandra Proeung, Rancia Phin, Sopharl Ngin
This dance, often considered the most beautiful in the classical repertory, embodies the wellbeing, friendship, and prosperity of the Cambodian people.
4) The Khen Dance
Dancers: Rathanee Yean, Paulina Srey, Sodany Krouch, Channa Sath, Povtda Pech
Sanny Meas, Peter Veth, Vyrik Eng, Steve Hom, Vandary Moeun
The Khen Dance from a province of Cambodia located in the northeastern part on the CambodiaLoas border. Many young men from that part of the country play a musical instrument, a mouth
organ called Khen, which is made of bamboo and decorated with a garland flowers. Men play
their Khen to attract young passing by. The women can't resist so they touch the flowers and fall
in love.
5) Mini Mekhala & Giant
Dancers: Heng Noeuk, Linda Sou
Moni Mekhala and Ream Eyso were at one time students of the same teacher and both strived very hard
to be his best favorite. In the end, the teacher favored the goddess, Moni Mekhala, and rewarded her with
a beautiful and very powerful crystal made fro the morning dew. The storm demon, Ream Eyso, was
given an ax as a consolation prize. As the dance begins, we see Moni Mekhala preparing to go out and
dance with other Gods and goddesses in the heavens. But on her way, she is accosted by Ream Eyso,
who is quite jealous and craves the powering glittering ball.

Mini Mekhala teases him by holding the ball out very close. Then she tosses the crystal, momentarily
blinding him. This ends Ream Eyso to his knees, giving her just enough time to glide away.
It is said that the flash of Moni Mekhala' s crystal is what we know as lighting, and the crashing of Ream
Eyso' s ax is thunder.This is one of the most sacred dances in the Cambodian Classical repertoire and is
still performed in Cambodian in ceremonies to pray for rain.
6) The Fishing Dance
Dancers: Khakhada Hom, Sopharl Ngin, Sophy Leng, Monica Veth , Elizabeth Yim
Samnang Hor, Vyrik Eng, Peter Veth, Jamie Rin, Steve Hom
There' s saying in Cambodia "Where there is water, there are fish."
In this dance you will see two traditional methods of catching fish, using braided bamboo baskets Called
CHHNEANG In this dance you'll see young women scoop up water from the river into their Chhneng.
The baskets act as strainers-the water drains out through the bamboo leaving small fish in the basket.
And the guys use bell-shaped traps called ANGKUT For catching large fish in shallow water. Love and
romance and favorite themes in Khmer stories and dance. In traditional Cambodian society, young
people are careful watched and don't have many opportunities to get to know one another. But the
fishing quarter is one place they had the chance to meet.
7) The PestleDance
Dancers: Sophy Leng, Vyrik Eng, Linda Hong, Paulina Srey, Sokhoeum Khim, Zenith Rith
Povtda Pech , Sandra Proeung, Sodany Krouch, Rathna Mao, Channa Sath , Peter Veth
The pestle dance is depicted that celebrated the hard work of the harvest season.
8) The Swva Pol with DNC Dance
Dancers: Samnang Hor, Vyrik Eng, Jamie Rin, Steve Hom
In Cambodian legend, monkeys always fight evil; in fact they are army solders. And these solders are
celebrating a bid win. They're gathering food for a feast. The monkey dance is lively and acrobatic,
always performed by young boys, who you will see also capture the spirit and quick mannerisms of
monkeys. Following the original dance, the Troupe will feature some new choreography with elements
of modem dance. But if you watch carefully, you will see the dancers remain, throughout it all, Swva
Pol, the monkeys.
