Founded in the spring of 2000 by eight passionate visionaries, the Khemera Dance Troupe was born out of a steadfast commitment to preserving Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage. From its inception, the troupe’s directors have devoted themselves to painstakingly crafting handmade costumes, inspired by the grandeur of Cambodia’s Royal Dance Troupe.
Today, the Khemera Dance Troupe proudly features approximately 20 talented performers, all dedicated to revitalizing an art form that narrowly escaped extinction during Pol Pot’s regime.
Through the generous support of individuals and organizations, the troupe has successfully resurrected the sinuous, elegant movements that, for centuries, were the exclusive privilege of royalty.
