The Soul Of The Classical Khmer Traditional Dance Performance Event 🎼🥁💃

Greetings everyone, Today I am so excited to share the classic traditional dance performance with you. A week or two-three days before the actual New Year, it is customary for groups of women and men in villages to perform the traditional dance calls Trot Dance, actually meaning ending of the old year and start with the new happy year as well as to protect people from bad luck.

One of my favorite performances was the traditional girl who sing known, which is meant to celebrate the beauty and grace of Cambodian women. She sings so beautifully, clear and strong.

Both men and women can participate in the same movement. They walk slowly until the they got into the planning place to show their dancing. While walking, the sounds by people singing is loud.
