Apsara Dancers, Sofitel Hotel

Apsaras, The Heavenly Nymphs Carvings of Apsaras adorn the columns and walls of many of the temples and every single one is unique. The days of the Khmer Rouge nearly put an end to this style of dancing as the regime banned dancing and killed the dance teachers. Very few dance instructors survived those terrible times but the ones that lived on have passed this art on to a new generation. These dancers are performing at the Sofitel Phokeethra Hotel in Siem Reap
