Court dance traditions exist all over Southeast Asia. Ancient Malaysian court dances, Balinese dances and the Cambodian Apsara Dance are widely known and continue to be valued as traditional arts. Some of these dances were offered to gods, performed in theater plays or coordinated as prayers for good harvest. The fascination of these magical and graceful dance movements even inspired artwork of famous French sculptor Rodin.
