This is actually a Siamese dance. In Thailand, there is a Khmer dance called Apsara. Because the ancient Angkor Empire used to expand power to this area But this one belongs to Siam. Cambodia through the adoption of Siamese culture after the Angkor period. I don't understand the Khmers how they were proud of the dances of their former colony of siam0. Ancient clothes worn while visiting Angkor Wat It's like the influence of Siam has never disappeared. Wearing a Siamese style like this, how can you be proud of your independence? wake up khmer people Don't let the government deceive you anymore.
Really enjoying finding out about this. It's almost like the goal of this form is, similar to Japanese Kabuki, to make the actor/dancer as much like living art as possible; the emphasis on symmetry and precision is extremely satisfying. Love from the US!
@@mepaulphol siam from Chinese.The Siamese did not have their own territory, so they asked to stay in Khmer Empire and then took Khmer territory as their own (cheap siam). Siam ancestors are Chinese🇨🇳🇹🇭😷
Oh really but this Khmer dance recognize by the UNESCO as the world heritage and Thailand didn’t recognize from the UNESCO bc Thai is the thief that like to steal Cambodia land in the history
It is very beautiful. I will note that the amount they can bend their fingers back is terrifying to me. It's almost as though they're all double jointed but I'm sure it just comes from daily stretches and years of practice.
