Enjoying Apsara dance
The Apsara Dance is a classical dance inspired by the apsara carvings and sculptures of Angkor and developed in the late 1940s by Queen Sisowath Kossamak. Her granddaughter and protégé, Princess Bopha Devi, was the first star of the Apsara Dance.
Apsara dance
The central character of the dance, the apsara Mera, leads her coterie of apsaras through a flower garden where they partake of the beauty of the garden. The movements of the dance are distinctly classical yet, as the dance was developed for theatrical presentation, it is shorter and a bit more relaxed and flowing than most classical dances, making it both an excellent example of the movements, manner and spirit of classical dance and at the same time particularly accessible to a modern audience unaccustomed to the style and stories of Khmer dance-drama.
