A guest asks you about what #apsara# is – you explain in simple English:

Apsara is a traditional dance that comes from Cambodia. It’s very important in Cambodian culture because it tells stories in a special way. When you watch Apsara, you see dancers wearing beautiful costumes. They move gracefully, like angels or spirits from old Cambodian stories. Their movements are like poetry, showing feelings and telling tales without words.

The stories they tell are often from long ago, from Cambodian mythology or ancient religious books like the Ramayana. These stories are part of Cambodia’s history and beliefs.

Apsara is more than just a dance—it’s a symbol of Cambodian identity. It represents beauty, grace, and the spiritual world. People in Cambodia are proud of their Apsara dance because it shows their culture’s richness and beauty.

When tourists come to Cambodia, they often want to see Apsara. Watching the dance is like traveling back in time and experiencing the magic of ancient Cambodia. It’s a way to understand the country’s past and appreciate its traditions.“
