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.
