Yes, both Classical Cambodian and Classical Thai are similar and Classical Thai is derived from Classical Cambodian Dance of the Angkor era. According to my girlfriend, the posture and movements of Classical Cambodian Dance today is considered to be a more refined version of what it was in the 60's. While Classical Thai dance of today is similar to what Classical Cambodian Dance was back in the 60's. The other big difference is speed, whereas Cambodian Dance keeps a constantly speed throughout the dance regardless of the beat of the music while Thai tends to vary a lot. And of course the costumes are different as well.
Anyways, if you ever get the chance to cross the border to Cambodia I hope you do as I would love to see those photos. ...Show more →
