HARTFORD — Watkinson School teacher Chris Brown, of Canton, danced with members of the Cambodian dance troupe The Children of Bassac in its premiere performance in Connecticut, April 17 and 18. The group, an emerging traditional Cambodian Dance group that has been supported by Cambodian Living Arts since 2003, gave a sold-out performance to the public April 17, and Brown danced with them in a performance just for the students and staff of Watkinson April 18. The tour featured ten highly-talented young Cambodian dancers who perform a combination of ancient, classical and lively folk dances.
While in Hartford, the dancers stayed with Watkinson families. All funds raised benefited Cambodian Living Arts and its important work of restoring Cambodia’s folk arts following their decimation by the Khmer Rouge.
