Top Siem Reap Dance Lessons

Enjoy a glimpse into a long-enduring feature of Khmer culture with this short lesson in traditional Apsara dance. Historically used to appease Khmer deities and in modern times a staple of public celebration, Apsara is as exciting to perform as it is impressive to watch.

Don a traditional tube skirt—petite travelers will find blouses to fit as well—and practice your moves with a professional dancer. Whether you pick a morning or afternoon class, numbers are limited to just 10 dancers to ensure everyone learns the basics.
