The Royal Ballet of Cambodia (Khmer: របាំព្រះរាជទ្រព្យ, Robam Preah Reach Trop, lit.'Dance of Royal Wealth') is a classical Khmer dance renowned for its graceful hand movements and luxurious costumes. The ballet has been closely associated with the Khmer court for over a thousand years and would traditionally accompany various royal ceremonies, including coronations, weddings, funerals, and Khmer holidays. The ballet's repertoire encompasses various ancient Khmer legends.[1]
Despite facing significant challenges, including near extinction during the Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s, the Royal Ballet of Cambodia remains an important cultural heritage of Cambodia. With its sacred and symbolic significance, the dance embodies traditional values of refinement, respect, and spirituality of the Khmer people.[1]
Since 2003, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.[1]
