  • It is not just about the traditional dancing. A large, curved stone stage, surrounded by water and tropical flowers, was built to revive the glory of the ancient arts and crafts of the Angkor region and create an unforgettable show.
    Five traditional performances are present nightly

The meaning of this dance and music is displayed and showed about individual idea of attention by using intelligence as arm to carry-out the Khmer after active tradition and custom and people with appraising peace and pleasure forever.
    2. Coconut Shells Dance
      Coconut shell or Praying mantis dance was originally created in the district of Romeas, Svay Reang Province, southeastern Cambodia. The people like acting in wedding ceremony and particularly perform at the time of groom procession to Rong Chey, his own victory room. Highly rhythmical and punctuated with shouts and the rapping of coconuts, it expresses joy in life and harmony amongst Cambodian.
    3. Mekhala Dance
      Metaphor for the victory of good over evil. Armed with a crystal ball casting rays of lightning, the goddess of waters, Moni Mekhala triumphs over the demon Ream Eysaur, whose axe creates thunder.
      The two characters illustrate victory of beneficial rains over the dry and stormy season.
    4. Pailin Peacock Dance
      This performance is a heritage of Kolar ethnic people who are polishing gem specialists and living in the area of Pailin province where numerous types of precious stones have been found. Following local legends, it relates also to Buddhism religion. That’s why the performance is shown at almost every pagoda whenever the religion ceremonies are celebrated.
    5. Apsara Dance
      Apsaras, half-woman and half-goddess deities of dance, are heavenly dancers who performed at offering ceremonies and palace celebrations in the Angkorian era. They were born when gods and demons churned the Ocean of Milk to make ambrosia. Thousands of Apsara were sculpted on the walls of Khmer monuments, especially Angkor Wat Temple. This is a proof that this dance has been over hundred years. They are not only goddesses of love but also mother of Khmer people, which has been mentioned in the history. The name of Kambuja (Cambodia) is from alliance of a sage named Kambusvayamphuva and goddess named Apsaramera.
