Intro To Khmer Social Dance Pt. 1

Intro to Khmer Social Dancing

Step into the circle and move with us in preparation for Khmer New Year.

Join us at Studio 7117 for a 3-week Intro to Khmer Social Dancing series. Together, we’ll learn foundational Khmer social dances in a welcoming, beginner-friendly space. No experience or partner needed!

This series highlights beloved dances like Romvong, Lam Leav, and Madison—the ones that bring people together across generations. It’s also an invitation to reconnect with culture outside of traditional spaces, and to imagine new ones we can build together.

Sundays | 1:00–2:30 PM
03/22 – Romvong
03/29 – Lam Leav
04/05 – Madison

Attend all three sessions or drop into any that call to you (though we encourage moving through the full series for a deeper experience).

Location: Studio 7117
117 Cherry St, Seattle, WA 98104
(Free street parking or light rail to Pioneer Square—just a couple blocks away)

Cost: Free or pay what you can (to support the teaching artist)
Venmo: @Sophiasoms

This offering is made with care and generosity, created out of a deep love for Khmer social dance and a desire to expand access beyond temples, casinos, and special occasions.

Come ready to move, meet new people, and share space in a circle that holds us all.

If you're unable to make it, or want to prep ahead, here is a playlist compiled to reference for at home: Intro to Khmer Social Dance Playlist and Tutorial

Pioneer Square Art Walk: Wasat x 7117 Artist Iftar

This week we are excited to be hosting an art show + iftar with @studio.7117, as part of the First Thursday Pioneer Square Art Walk!

For the artist, the act of creation is a form of seeking. Every stroke of a brush, every line of poetry, and every captured photograph is a reflection of the Divine Beauty (Al-Jamal) found in the world around us.
This evening is dedicated to the Muslim artists of Seattle those who have often searched for a space where their work is not just seen, but truly celebrated.

We invite all attendees, whether you are displaying art or coming to appreciate it to join us!

Please register so we can get a headcount for the iftar meal.
Food catered by @salimaspecialties 🍚

Art Walk: Arrive early to immerse yourself in a curated gallery of local talent. Walk the space, connect with the featured artists
