The Royal Ballet of Cambodia exists since more than a millennium. This exceptional kind of art was narrowly wiped out by Pol Pots murderous "Khmer Rouge". A handful of the famous dance teachers survived. Grand Dame de Dance EM Theay is one of them. She dedicated her whole life restless to pass her unique knowledge with passion to all the younger generations - until today.
