Khmer Dancing

We spent a few hours one evening watching a traditional Khmer dance performance. With ornate costumes on their fluidly moving bodies, the dancers combined with the entrancing music gave quite a moving performance. All the dancers were kids from the local arts high school. This would have been a good time to own a video camera, as we had a hard time capturing the show on our digital camera.
