This is a great evidence from a third party research (Japanese) on Khmer dance. It indicates that Cambodian court dance is actually from Siamese court dance, not Angkorean *tradition*.
Sasagawa mentions Groslier's acknowledgement of Siamese performers in the royal dance troupe and also mentions Norodom Sihanouk claim that the Siamese 'taught Cambodia it's lost art form which they had preserved after sacking Angkor,' however, Sasagawa notes that the Siamese innovations (such as the story of Inao, an adaptation of the Malay version of Panji ) were not present in the Angkorian dance tradition
Banham also mentions performers from Thailand were brought to restructure the dance tradition for the royal court of Cambodia during the same period. Indeed, there were Siamese performers in the royal court of Cambodia according to most renown sources on the royal ballet, Groslier included; this suggests a strong connection to the court dances of Siam and it's influences.
scholars theorize that Khmer classical dance, as seen today, developed from, or was at least highly influenced by, Siamese classical dance innovations during the 19th century and precedent forms of Cambodian dance were different from the present form. According to Brandon, the lakhon nai of Siam was the main influence on Cambodian court dance in the 1800s
those who watch thai movies in khmer, should just move to live in Thailand, they don't help or appreciate his/her own culture. Those are the unproductive khmer people. Think about it, what some of the bad thai soldiers did to khmer people along the borders
@viraklong1975 Even though a Khmer person watches Thai movies does not mean that they should just go live in Thailand. That's like saying just because you watch American movies means that you should go live in America. Movies and Wars are two separate things. One is an entertainment while the other is a political reason. Yes, I think it's wrong that the Thai people have killed many innocent Khmer people, but it doesn't mean that you have to hate Thai people or dislike their culture that bad.
@AnitaxBeezy That's just discriminating against them. I'm Khmer and was raised in the Khmer culture. Although I live in America and I do watch Thai Dramas and what not does not mean that I don't appreciate my culture. I love every little bit about the Khmer culture and heritage. You can't just go off saying that Khmer people who watch Thai movies "don't help or appreciate his/her own culture. Those are the unproductive khmer people." This really is my point of view of this, just saying.

man all these indian folk come on here and stated that these aspara is not khmer but indian...not one I see any historical indian dancer like this so weird...why all these fucker keep saying angkor is this is that and not khmer but built in khmer solid land ummmm let me say a bunch of day dreamer and jealous
Khmer classical dance is a very beautiful derivation of the Natya Shastra...one can find traces of Indian classical dance forms like Manipuri, BharataNatyam, Odissi, Kuchipudi, Mohini Attam and even Kathakali in the choreography...
i am half-thai and half-javanese. i respect and love all the rich cultures of south east asia. khmer people is very closely related to malay and javanese people.
I appreciate the way you dance is beautiful. And tep apsara is your dance so stop saying you steal from me I steal from you bla bla bla. Because we share the same culture. As some body said that " You(I mean thai) don't know our history" and so do, You don't know thai history either. What we talking is about Arts , Arts have no owner and arts is not about copy.
I´m Khmer and I respect Thais but not all thais on Youtube are smart and talk only shit about Khmer. I hope Cambodia and Thailand live together in peace
Really I've never knew that you got a dance like this because The best thing that you can do is copy. I won't say that you steal from thai and you know what even the costume of the musicians is thai in the period of king rama the fifth called "Raja Pattern" and a few day ago I just saw korean cover from khmer and many many of Korean or even thai songs that you copy us. Stop! Copy and maybe I'll believe you
@aescom If you want to know where the original came from, you only have to look at the Apsara carving on the wall of Angkor Wat which was built centuries ago. If you want to know where the musician custome came from, look at Chinese suit, all of us just modified it to be our own. Thai and Khmer arts might look similar, but if you observe the details, we are very different, including the custumes. There are good and bad people everywhere, if we concentrate on positive, we will get along fine.
@aescom OMG we copy you thais please sound more like u thais copy khmer...khmer people have proof and that from angkorwat temple carving do u thais peep have it nope yal got no temple beside khmer temple yal took. the ends!
wow khmer traditional dance is so beautiful and it looks so difficult to dance. You need to have great balance and flexibility. It is by far better than thai, lao or hmong dance. The technical aspect of it... They are similar but I can tell that khmer dance really inspired other south east asia countries. No offense...
@puggie11 khmer dance is about sign languages. There are more than 5000 signs if you observe. Every movement means something from head to toes. This make Khmer dance unique and different from other that have similar dances.
@Khmer96pride I gree with you. It's very interesting to watch how they dance. I didn't pay much attention when I was younger, 8 or 9 when I saw the performances in Cambodia (1960), I appreciate it now and more than before very proud of what we have, a unique art!
you are dark because you are related to African, I am real khmer and all family have white skin and proude. And I also see millions of other cambodians are white skin just like me. Also, most VietKong people think that khmer are dark. I have seen dark vietkong as well. The fact is that some are darker or lightter, but please don't say khmer are dark. I am offended by whoever you are think Khmer people are black or dark.

The etymology of cambodias founder came from north india. founders name was kamboja they named it kampeachea and then later changed it to cambodia. Khmers still believe in Hanuman and pray to vishnu and buddha because cambodia was once a hindu nation people wonder why we are dark because really some khmers are indian blooded until the chinese came to srok khmer. My father is indian and mom is khmer so I know my history pretty well. Also cambodia derived from the sanskrit.
@earth2dawit Hindu were white Persian mixed with southern(dark). and Ramayana was a historical of war between white and dark. ..haha !! Khmer were dark because they are the southern Indian...hahah
lol. i'm not talking about who created lao and thai. WE are talking about you bashing indian culture. u should give india some credit. apsara itself is an indian word. i'm gonna stop now. i feel like i am talking to a wall.
Sanskrit is an Indo- European language that is not necessarily "from" India. the Aryan nomads that spoke the language came from central Asia thousands of years ago.
im pretty sure u got that info from wiki. i think u missed this excerpt: "the original speakers of what became Sanskrit arrived in what is now India and Pakistan from the north-west some time during the early second millennium BCE". my point is... sanskrit was in india way before making its way into southeast asia. in addition to khmers, laotians and thais also use sanskrit in religious ceremonies today.
that is so incorrect!sanskrit was the base of what is today called "indian culture".Plus the aryan invasion throey that you speak of has been proved wrong, despite it bing provided by the vedas.true, it did come from the north west of india, but sanskrit as an organised language is essentially indian.Panini was the 1st human to organise the rules for a language, which was sanskrit.
Thanks for the info. But, was Tamil an existing language in any form before the Aryan "migration" from the north west so to speak? From what I've read, Tamil seems to be the more authentic language of India because of Mohenjo-Daro, or has this been proven wrong? I do relate more to Sanskrit, and it much more widely used than Tamil throughout Asia.
1st of all- The script of indus valley civilisation- to which the Mohenjo-Daro belongs to, has not been decrypted, and has nothing to do with dravidian languages, oldest of which remains tamil.
An yes, it has been cited that probably most of the indian subcontinent spoke different forms of dravidian languages, as there exists a very small group of dravidian language speakers in north west(today pakistan).But there also exists a whole village in extremely south of india where people speak sanskri as their 1st language.
And clearly if the theory of indo european language speakers(early sanskrit) came from north west, they must have arrived during indus valley civilisation, when clearly a different language was spoken.Sanskrit gained momentum n spread in the indian subcontinent during the vedic period when it was made more sophesticated, and it was during this period that it affected other dravidian languages, slowly spreading from north india.
present day land that people call "India" has actually 3 families of language- indo european(followers of sanskrit) dravidian(to which tamil belongs) and sino tibetean(part of which is also all the sour east asian languags)the difference is all o these are written in indic script,(including in south east asia), though they may look extremely different in script.All other indian languages, including tamil has been extremely influenced by sanskrit, maybe even more than SE asian languages.
simoneeka, are you aware that the epic ballet ramayana (also performed by khmer, lao, and thai) is originally from India? do you think that THAT is too sexy??? i think you're just focusing on Indian FOLK dance and modern Bollywood dance, and you have yet to see true classical Indian dance.
I am not saying that this dance is bad, infact I personally love this dance more than many indian classical dances.But i am proving the same point.If you really want to learn the meaning of the word heritage that you speak of then try lookin for different indian dances, like oddisi, manipuri, bharatnayam, satriya, kathak etc..Each is absolutely different from the other yet similar in the same way as other of this common culture that runs through south east asia.
Khmer have Indian HERITAGE because the Khmer Kings were originated Indian and Khmer owned whatever Indian have and Khmer don't have to dance like Indian oddisi, manipuri, bharatnayam, satriya, kathak etc..
@Simoneeka Pleace brother, just shut up!I am not saying that they should or need to dance like other indian dance.I never ever said anything like that!The europeans made these oundaries, or otherwise, all is but one culture.All I was pointing out that you were wrong to say that apsara is something only khmer speak of and not the rest of the Indian culture!

@Simoneeka I dont know why I am replying to thins, but i am not going to do it the next time.You are just here to pick up a fight over nothing.I never said anything against Khmer culture, but you seem to wish to feel so.And for your kind information, I don know about each one of them.I was actually studying the fate of kingdoms of epic India when i came across Kambhoj.And I was really flabergasted about Khmer culture and that is why I am here loooking at khmer ballet.
@Simoneeka And I also do know about Princess Bhopa devi and how she introduced Khmer ballet to cambodians and the world, which was originally open only to the gods and royalty!I was interested in khmer and cambodian people and have been reading about them since a long time,but it seems you are not happy with that fact.
Queen Kossamak was just following King Sisowath who introduced Khmer royal ballet dance to France and the world in 1906.
The famous French artist Auguste Rodin felt in love with the young Khmer royal dancers, he painted so many Khmer royal dancers and exposed them in his Museum Auguste Rodin in Paris today.
@D4Mathur, you are wrong. Its not Princess Bopha Devi introducing Khmer royal ballet to Cambodia and the world. Princess Bopha Devi was just chosen to become a Khmer royal ballet dancer by her grand mother Queen Kossamak.
@Simoneeka I was also pointing out that you speak of authority of heritage, but without ever understanding the fact that tody India is but many indian cultures joined together, each with it's own classical and folk dance and musicand just looking at bollywood dances, you called something called "Indian dance" as "sexy"!That was seriously ignorant!
I called Indian dance sexy comparing to this Khmer dance. The ignorant is you.
Khmer King and Khmer Queen wouldn't let Khmer girls dancing like Indian girls jumping up and jumping down in front of them. The Cambodia Royal University of Fine Arts teach Khmer girl dancers not to walk fast, so don't expect Khmer dancer to jump up and jump down like Indian girl dancer, its not appropriate for Khmer custom.
@Simoneeka WTF!!!Have you ven ever seen any of those dances?!Do you know anything about Manipuri dance?In manipuri dance non performers are not even allowed to touch the costume, as they are considered sacred!
@Simoneeka The problem is that you see "india" as one unit and one culture.But the thing is the real "Indian" culture actually is just the gangetic basin and the indus basin, half of which is in Pakistan today, being destroyed by muslims as they don't consider it their culture.
@D4Mathur, the problem is you making the false about Khmer because you don't know Khmer history, you don't know Khmer wedding story and you don't know Khmer heritage.
@Simoneeka Just like khmer people translated this vedic culture in their form, many other dravidian cultures translated in theirs and norhteasterns in their.The English united some of these cultures, which you people today know s "India".
@D4Mathur, Khmer Kings were originated Indian from India. So Khmer owned Indian heritage. It is you the one don't understand the word heritage. If my father is Indian and my mother is Khmer, I own both Indian heritage and Khmer heritage automatically and no one has the right telling me about my heritage because no one know me better than myself.
@Simoneeka "Khmer is Indian and Indian is Khmer, go learning the word HERITAGE!!!!"To this reply,are you saying that today "india" and cambodia are one?
He he, the SE asian cultures of Burma, Thailand, laos, Camboia and Indonesia owe a lot to Indian culture. This includes dance and music as well as the Idea of kingship and the court. The food od SE Asia is also Indian based. The Cambodians (or Khmer) were the original people of the area and had a huge kingdom. The Thai came from southern China and finally overthrew the Khmer. Everyone has borrowed back and forth from each other for centuries.
You seem to not know the trading relationships between India, Cambodia and Vietnam in those ancient days. Reason why Robam Apsara is heavily inspired by Indian influences is because it is Cambodian Thought, of an Indian Tale. No because it borrowed the Culture.
My dear friend ,you must be seriously confused not to hvae any knowledge about carvings and myths in south India.These are hindu temples of ancient India that were not detroyed by Muslim kings of norhtern India, n they still retain the carvings full of apsara.Apsara are not Cambodian thought for your kind information as they already appear in rig veda and mahabharat much before hinduism reached Cambodia.
@NikkiSavella I dont mean to fight you or challenge you, but I would just like to correct you in one thing.Please do not call them folklore.There is a huge difference between folklores and epics, especially in today India where folk, dances and stories are completely different as there are many different cultures, each with it's own folklore, foolk music, and folk dance.But classical dance and music are kept seperate.Sorry if i offended you in any form by this comment.
Exactly! The world Apsara is very famous in India which means a beautiful Lady from heaven. Moreover our ancient texts are filled with the stories of Apsaras. What a coincidence. Love you a lot.
I think you are not aware of Indian classical dance that is why you are saying that in Indian Classical dance you have to jump up and down. I am talking of bharatnatyam, manpuri, odissi etc etc....... try some search in you tube with these names you will clarify all your doubts about serenity of Indian classical dance!!!!!
Dont get me wrong, I love Indian dance as much as Khmer dance.
But my point is to explain the reason why Khmer dance is slower than Indian dance? Because Khmer dance is dance only for God and for the Khmer King & Khmer Queen not for the entertainment in the ancient time.
But today, there is an argument about Khmer dance at the restaurant and the question is, is it appropriate to perform Khmer dance at the restaurant?
Its OK simoneeka. But the idea of Khmer at a restaurant is not a good Idea at all. Classical dances are something like divine and should be admired at a respectful place, I strongly agree with you.
What you are looking at are either bollywood dances or folk dance.they are quite old dances n were meant for celebration.if you want real indian dances search for bharatnatyam, mohiniattam, odisi, manipuri.All of these were danced for gods, n only inside temples.
because of your arrogant behavior I am removing my good words uttered about khmer. Simoneeka I don't know what you want to prove??? I am keep on praising about khmer and you are keep on proving that indian dances are not seren??? strange!!!!!!
too sexy huh? i think this dance is beautiful and i love khmer people, but have u seen the ancient khmer temple carvings with topless apsaras and not to mention the crazy sex positions?!
Indian dance jump up on the left and on the right like the show girl dance and it is not appropriate for God and it is not for the Khmer King ad the Khmer Queen.
Most Indian dances, such as Baranatayam were originally performed for the gods and the gods only, they lived inside the temples and did not jump up and down like Bollywood. they were very graceful and divine, not "sexy" as you say.
thats called ramleela, and in present day india, all dances or lord Ram are only performed in folk dances, or only opera type kathakali, kotiyattom and yakshagana, which are completely different genre of classical indian dances.YOu might want to try manipuri, but they always depict lord krishna, not ram.
Fuck the Cambodian people that are so stupid monkeys people. look at all these comments sound like a bunch dumb fucks in here trying to show off their so call culture. Them son of bitch I hate them like deeply in my heart. Dirty mother fucker. I am Thai and proud to be Thai, we are better then them low life.

Khmer classical dance is a very beautiful derivation of the Natya Shastra...one can find traces of Indian classical dance forms like Manipuri, BharataNatyam, Odissi, Kuchipudi, Mohini Attam and even Kathakali in the choreography...

Really I've never knew that you got a dance like this because The best thing that you can do is copy. I won't say that you steal from thai and you know what even the costume of the musicians is thai in the period of king rama the fifth called "Raja Pattern" and a few day ago I just saw korean cover from khmer and many many of Korean or even thai songs that you copy us. Stop! Copy and maybe I'll believe you
aescom 1 year ago
@aescom If you want to know where the original came from, you only have to look at the Apsara carving on the wall of Angkor Wat which was built centuries ago. If you want to know where the musician custome came from, look at Chinese suit, all of us just modified it to be our own. Thai and Khmer arts might look similar, but if you observe the details, we are very different, including the custumes. There are good and bad people everywhere, if we concentrate on positive, we will get along fine.

The etymology of cambodias founder came from north india. founders name was kamboja they named it kampeachea and then later changed it to cambodia. Khmers still believe in Hanuman and pray to vishnu and buddha because cambodia was once a hindu nation people wonder why we are dark because really some khmers are indian blooded until the chinese came to srok khmer. My father is indian and mom is khmer so I know my history pretty well. Also cambodia derived from the sanskrit.

Sanskrit is an Indo- European language that is not necessarily "from" India. the Aryan nomads that spoke the language came from central Asia thousands of years ago.
naruto10119 2 years ago
im pretty sure u got that info from wiki. i think u missed this excerpt: "the original speakers of what became Sanskrit arrived in what is now India and Pakistan from the north-west some time during the early second millennium BCE". my point is... sanskrit was in india way before making its way into southeast asia. in addition to khmers, laotians and thais also use sanskrit in religious ceremonies today.
maribelle1226 2 years ago
@naruto10119
that is so incorrect!sanskrit was the base of what is today called "indian culture".Plus the aryan invasion throey that you speak of has been proved wrong, despite it bing provided by the vedas.true, it did come from the north west of india, but sanskrit as an organised language is essentially indian.Panini was the 1st human to organise the rules for a language, which was sanskrit.
D4Mathur 2 years ago
Thanks for the info. But, was Tamil an existing language in any form before the Aryan "migration" from the north west so to speak? From what I've read, Tamil seems to be the more authentic language of India because of Mohenjo-Daro, or has this been proven wrong? I do relate more to Sanskrit, and it much more widely used than Tamil throughout Asia.
naruto10119 2 years ago
1st of all- The script of indus valley civilisation- to which the Mohenjo-Daro belongs to, has not been decrypted, and has nothing to do with dravidian languages, oldest of which remains tamil.
D4Mathur 1 year ago
An yes, it has been cited that probably most of the indian subcontinent spoke different forms of dravidian languages, as there exists a very small group of dravidian language speakers in north west(today pakistan).But there also exists a whole village in extremely south of india where people speak sanskri as their 1st language.
D4Mathur 1 year ago
And clearly if the theory of indo european language speakers(early sanskrit) came from north west, they must have arrived during indus valley civilisation, when clearly a different language was spoken.Sanskrit gained momentum n spread in the indian subcontinent during the vedic period when it was made more sophesticated, and it was during this period that it affected other dravidian languages, slowly spreading from north india.
D4Mathur 1 year ago
present day land that people call "India" has actually 3 families of language- indo european(followers of sanskrit) dravidian(to which tamil belongs) and sino tibetean(part of which is also all the sour east asian languags)the difference is all o these are written in indic script,(including in south east asia), though they may look extremely different in script.All other indian languages, including tamil has been extremely influenced by sanskrit, maybe even more than SE asian languages.

He he, the SE asian cultures of Burma, Thailand, laos, Camboia and Indonesia owe a lot to Indian culture. This includes dance and music as well as the Idea of kingship and the court. The food od SE Asia is also Indian based. The Cambodians (or Khmer) were the original people of the area and had a huge kingdom. The Thai came from southern China and finally overthrew the Khmer. Everyone has borrowed back and forth from each other for centuries.

You seem to not know the trading relationships between India, Cambodia and Vietnam in those ancient days. Reason why Robam Apsara is heavily inspired by Indian influences is because it is Cambodian Thought, of an Indian Tale. No because it borrowed the Culture.
