Celebrating 40 Years of Impact: A Legacy in Every Step
Welcome to Angkor Dance Troupe.
Founded in 1986, Angkor Dance Troupe (ADT) began as an act of cultural survival, a response to the Khmer Rouge genocide and the urgent need to preserve Cambodia's classical and folk performing arts. Forty years later, those traditions are not just preserved. They are alive, evolving, and inspiring new generations.
Today, ADT is a vibrant youth-centered organization that uses Cambodian dance, music, and storytelling to empower young Cambodian Americans. Through our programs, they gain confidence, cultural pride, and a sense of belonging, strengthening community bonds and keeping Khmer heritage alive globally.
In 2026, we mark this milestone with the world premiere of A Khmer Swan Lake in partnership with Merrimack Repertory Theatre, our 40th Anniversary Gala on October 17, and the launch of our 40th Anniversary Impact Campaign. We invite you to be part of our journey.
For 40 years, Angkor Dance Troupe has inspired generations through Cambodian performing arts. We empower youth, celebrate culture, and connect communities through dance, music, and storytelling.

"Dancing is my passion. I've danced with masters, seniors, and juniors, and now I share the stage with my kids. Angkor Dance Troupe has been an important part of my journey, helping me deepen my knowledge of dance, culture, and discipline. Now, it’s time to pass that knowledge to my children and the younger generation.”
