The Angkor Dance Troupe provides numerous opportunities for members to perform. We have performed in numerous schools, at UMass, the Water Festival, numerous local functions, and as far away as Penn State University in College Station, Pennsylvania.
Angkor Dance Troupe members gain access to a wealth of classes taught by world renown master teachers. When members have attained proficiency in certain dances as determined by the master teachers, they can then join others to perform these dances throughout our communities and nation.
For example . . .
As an example of the many opportunities provided, Angkor Dance Troupe members journeyed to Penn State University campus in 2009 to perform a repertoire of dances before university students.
Watch the Penn State Trip video which displays the preparation, the trip and the activities leading up to performing on one of the nation's most prominent universities.
Dancers from the Angkor Dance Troupe have many different opportunities to perform before various different groups. The Dance Troupe has danced at the White House, First Night in Boston, the Lowell Folk Festival, national folk festivals, the Berkshire museum, Yale University, and many more. On this occassion, the Dance Troupe performed various dances before the students of the Harrington Elementary School in North Chelmsford, MA.
Not only were various different folk and classical dances performed before the eager students at the Harrington school, but the experience allowed personal, relevant contact between the dancers and the students. Students of various age were not only entertained but enlightened by the performance.
The students that day experienced a true learning experience. As a member of the Angkor Dance Troupe and a dancer in a community performance, you will not only learn the true khmer culture through traditional dance and be skilled in dance movements, but you'll impact students and others throughout this community to change their perspection of the Cambodian community and khmer dance, perhaps for the rest of their lives.

Once you are issued an ID card, you must wear it at all times while at the troupe’s headquarters at the Mogan Center and at performances – except when you are actually rehearsing or performing.

It is your responsibility to bring your ID card to every rehearsal. For your convenience, we will install a rack at the Mogan Center where you can leave your card between rehearsals. Anyone losing a card will be charged $4.00 for a replacement.
If current members have friends who may be interested in joining the troupe, members are welcome to bring a friend to a rehearsal as a guest ONE TIME ONLY. If the guest wishes to return, he or she must enroll.
All guests must report to the office where they will sign in and be issued a guest pass. If you bring a guest, it is YOUR responsibility to escort your friend to the office to sign them in.

If you bring a guest, you are responsible for supervising him/her and making sure he/she complies with all Angkor Dance Troupe policies regarding safety and proper use of our facility.
If you see someone in the hall or a third floor room who does not have a guest pass or member ID card, please inform a staff member or assistant instructor who will approach the guest and ask if they have signed in.
