This class teaches the ancient dance forms once practiced exclusively for the royal court of Phnom Penh in Cambodia. Court dance teaches the ancient stories of gods, demons, and heroes, and the symbolic meaning of gestures, costumes, and masks. The class requires stretching and exercises in breathing and balance. Class is conducted both in English and Khmer.

The first hour of class is designed for beginners. All ages, including children, are welcome. The following 90 minutes are geared towards more advanced students. Participants can stay for the entire 2.5 hours.

Please note: Class will not meet on Saturday, November 1. We invite you to join us for our annual Día de los Muertos celebration, instead!

• Participants must have a valid Fleisher membership.
