Cambodian Classical Dance

Dancers practicing at the gorgeous theater of Khmer Arts Academy (http://www.khmerartsacademy.org/) in a suburb of Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Khmer Arts Academy is founded and ran by Sophiline Cheam Shapiro and John Shapiro. Here Ms. Shapiro is coaching her dancers. The Academy is rather new and amazingly they are trying to run it fiscally sane so that the dancers can be paid. Still they can use any help from the world. Please support the arts of Cambodia which were endangered once.
