Epic
Arts, Cambodia National Ballet Phnom Penh, are just a few of the Cambodian dance
companies, Cambodian dance schools, Khmer dancing organizations and dance wear suppliers
that that can be found in our comprehensive Directory of Cambodian Dance
Companies. When thinking about dancing in Cambodia we often use the
traditional name Khmer which is the ancient name of the Khmer people who
have long had a civilization in Southeast Asia and now the Khmer people
mostly occupy the area we know now as Cambodia. SO if you are looking for
information about Khmer dance companies and Khmer dance schools then you
have found the right place.
Traditional Cambodian Dance
I think that dance has the power to capture our imagination and emotions. As
we watch a dance or start to move our bodies, dance movements have the
ability to transport us to other times and places. Dance can be enchant us,
make us dream, tell stories, and have a spiritual meaning. In Cambodian
classical dance, this is so very true. It has been said that Dance is the
Spirit of Cambodia!
Classical Cambodian dance movements are very slow. Dancers are trained for
many years to learn the different hand gestures, facial expressions, and
bows. When I watch a classical Cambodian dancer hands, sometimes I see
flowers or sometimes butterflies or birds. Sometimes the dancers - moving
across the stage, are telling a myth from ancient times in Cambodia,
illustrating a legend, or enacting a spiritual blessing.
Classical Cambodian dance traces it roots back to the carvings of asparas
(angels in Cambodian) on Cambodian's oldest temple, Angkor Wat. These dances
were created more than a 1,000 years ago and have been passed down from
mother to daughter for many, many generations.
These traditional dances tell stories and they are populated with princes
and princesses, giants, monkeys, peacocks, and other mythical figures. While
many works are tell stories or famous legends of love and war and magic,
others are considered "pure" dance -- or dancing for the joy of dancing
without telling a story.

Epic Arts
Epic Arts works mainly in Phnom Penh, but also travels to the
provinces for both teaching and performance. Generally these
will be staged on tarpaulin under trees, to attract a wide
audience in the community, and sometimes a few chickens!
In January 2005, Epic took a group of 20 children, some
physically disabled, and some deaf, to tour around 10 schools in
Kampong Speu district. They performed a dance piece and a
theatre piece, aiming to raise awareness about disability
issues. 2000 children saw the show and it was also televised to
increase awareness.
Epic Arts also has a group of professional performers, who
perform at conferences discussing issues of inclusion and
disability awareness. The dance pieces speak about equality, and
respect for other’s differences. Each member is valuable and
crucial to the working of the piece, and we hope this will
reflect what is possible within society.
