Guided by Moragaut Souet-Samonn\, a passionate young leader deeply rooted in her heritage\, the troupe embodies youth leadership\, artistic expression\, and community healing.   More than an art form\, Khmer classical dance offers these young girls a pathway to healing and empowerment. Through the intricate\, graceful movements passed down for generations\, they build confidence\, strengthen cultural pride\, and pay tribute to the artist ancestors whose lives were lost during the Khmer Rouge genocide.   Performing regularly at community and cultural events\, the dancers bring to life the elegance and beauty of the Apsaras\, celestial dancers of the gods\, sharing their heritage with grace\, pride\, and resilience.   Photo by Kenneth Wong \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About CERI \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Center for Empowering Refugees and Immigrants (CERI) cultivates the healing\, advocacy\, and empowerment of refugee and immigrant communities affected by war\, torture\, genocide\, and other life-altering traumas.
