Moving to Phnom Penh
After being at a residential NGO home for children for 3 and a half years, the home moved to Phnom Penh, which is the capital city of Cambodia. At first, I did not enjoy the city very much. I really missed life in the countryside - being able to walk in the forest, climbing trees and having fun. But a year after our move, I found something that made my heart happy - it was dance!!!
How dance found me
Living in Cambodia, it’s impossible to know that ballet and contemporary dance exist. I didn’t know what ballet looked like until the Central School of Ballet Phnom Penh (CSBPP), which is now English Ballet Theatre Cambodia (EBTC) came to Cambodia for the first time. My first experience with dance was a workshop where we learned to tell a story with our bodies. Out of this I joined the community dance project called Dance Made in Cambodia (DMIC). After our performance, my teacher (Stephen) told me that I had been given a full scholarship to learn ballet. I was so happy when I heard that news. I started my training in 2014. I felt that dance was fun and something I was good at. Here are some pictures from my first community dance project.
