Somapa Thai Dance Company

A great pride and a wonderful gift to the audience who were very fortunate to get to see a rare performance directed by the legendary Thai music Master Vorayot Suksaichon. We feel so blessed and lucky to be part of this history - officially recorded at the The Library of Congress during our performance in May 2024. We always trust the audience's organic reactions and it's very clear that day how we were positively received. Some people in the audience actually had never heard Thai music or seen Thai dance before.
