Classical Khmer dance is a sacred art form, listed by UNESCO as part of humanity's intangible cultural heritage. This age-old art form, once reserved exclusively for the royal court, links kings and gods. Since the last century, this dance has opened up to the general public, while retaining its notion of sacred art.

It is characterized by supple, precise and graceful movements inspired by nature. Each choreography tells the story of a legend or belief, always conveying wisdom and morality.
