Our Journey and Vision
Why Support Matters
Our Cambodian cultural dance troupe is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich heritage of Cambodia through traditional dance. These dances are more than performances—they are a vital link to our history, telling stories of resilience, love, and community. However, preserving these traditions in a modern world requires resources, and that’s where your support can make a profound difference.
Obtaining financial support is essential to sustain our work, allowing us to host performances, run workshops, and engage with the community. Each dollar contributes to our mission of cultural preservation, inspiring audiences of all backgrounds and passing on the beauty of Cambodian dance to the next generation. Together, we can ensure this art form thrives for years to come.

Specific Funding Needs
Our funding needs cover key areas essential to sustaining our work. Food for practice nights keeps our dancers energized during rehearsals, while maintaining and acquiring props and decorations ensures our performances stay authentic. We also seek funding to compensate youth dance teachers, purchase and maintain costumes, and cover clean-up costs after events, ensuring the upkeep of our costumes and equipment.
Beyond performances, your support would help expand our workshops and outreach programs, bringing Cambodian dance to schools, community centers, and underserved populations. These initiatives foster a deeper connection to Cambodian culture and offer valuable learning opportunities for young dancers. Expanding our outreach ensures the continued preservation of this important art form for future generations.

Impact Stories
Our traditional dance performances rely on intricate, hand-sewn costumes that are both beautiful and deeply symbolic, representing centuries-old designs passed down through generations. These costumes are crucial for bringing our cultural stories to life, helping audiences connect with the heritage we share.
Neary, one of our dedicated members, has been essential in maintaining our cultural wardrobe for years. She imports clothing, materials, and sacred artifacts from Cambodia, ensuring our costumes’ authenticity. Her commitment, though unasked for, is deeply appreciated by the troupe.
With funding, we could create new costumes from skilled artisans and improve storage and care, supporting Neary’s efforts and ensuring future dancers perform in attire that honors our cultural heritage.
