About

Our group was founded by master teacher Devi Yim (Dos) and her students in 2021. Both master teacher Devi Yim and the dancers under her direction are veteran performers with many years of training and performing with master teacher Devi Yim and elsewhere.

"Our mission is to preserve, educate, and introduce Cambodian classical dance to a broader audience." We strive to bring the beauty and elegance of Cambodian classical dance to audiences around the world while also showcasing the diversity and richness of Cambodian culture. We hope that our performances will foster appreciation and respect for Cambodian heritage.
