Apsara for Beauty

​One of the most traditional dances in Cambodia is the Apsara Dance. It’s slow and sensual movements signify beauty, which I heard that even kings in the history couldn’t resist it. 

Girls here in Cambodia learn to dance like Apsaras at a very young age. Their movements are just mesmerising. 

I like watching the Apsara Dance not only because of the highly skilled dancers nor the beautiful costume they wear, it is because the long standing tradition, cultural reflection and ability to pass it on to next generations to come.  

It makes me feel closer to the history and enables me to slow down to enjoy the moments. 

What tradition would you like to pass on to the generations to come?
