Las bailarinas, que representan a ninfas celestiales, jugaron un papel fundamental como parte de la vida cortesana y ahora representan una parte muy grande de la cultura camboyana.
Un folleto de recuerdo te ayudará a guiarte a través de los intrincados movimientos de las bailarinas, permitiéndote seguir las historias que hay detrás de los bailes. El conjunto residente de bailarinas expertas, que han entrenado durante años para conseguir las posturas gráciles con dedos y pies arqueados, representan numerosos bailes basados en la historia de Reamker, un giro camboyano de la historia hindú de Ramayana. Los magníficos vestidos enjoyados y los delicados movimientos controlados te hechizarán mientras los músicos expertos y los cantantes te fascinan con sus melodías. Disfruta también de los fascinantes bailes folclóricos adaptados de los bailes tradicionales del campo. Déjate entretener por el baile de la buena cosecha o el romántico baile de la pesca y llévate a casa unos maravillosos recuerdos.
