Robam Phuong Neary (Monica Dahn, '07 Khmer New Year)

Ms. Monica Dahn's performance was interrupted by her scratched CD! I tried to salvage this footage by adding my version of the Bread's "Baby I'm A Want You".

regardless of the mistakes and folding on her outfilts, she's quite a talented lady! thanks for uploading the clip!

[Lucky71983]

You're welcome. Yes, I totally agree. She's very talented, her dancing skills, gestures, interaction with the public ... and she has a killing smile too!

woah, her sbai is longer than the average

[Lucky71983]

Very good point! Shouldn't it just be below her buttocks? :D

Coming from someone with some experience, here are some mistakes: the inside pleading should wrap around the thigh and butt, it should not be left hanging, thus allowing it to open out and split like in this video. Another mistake is the front part of the skirt (the pleading) is too low. It should be raised a lil higher, so when the dancer sticks out her butt, the length of the skirt will be even all around and wouldn't shift to the side.

Thanks for the info... You just taught me something new today.

@acambodiandancer i think it looks better this way

[simplyxme23]

@acambodiandancer OH yea and she didn't have anytime to practice because she was being hauled all over the places for appearances.

[simplyxme23]

@acambodiandancer The costume she has on is usually used for weddings only. They are not for dancing. She was part of the decor on a float as a singer but the committee asked her to perform a week before the parade. That is why her costume wasn't put together well.

@Lucky71983 i think so... although i've seen a really long sbai in seasons of migration during the neang neak part. i suppose its her tail...
