It is also referred to as <i>Lakhon luong</i> and <i>Lakhon Kbach Boran Khmer</i> in Cambodia. This dance drama is the most refined of all theatre in Cambodia and was particularly patronized by royalty. It is heavily stylized with gestures and postures meant to entrance the viewer.</li> <li><i><b>Lakhon Khol</b></i> (<a href="/wiki/Khmer_language" title="Khmer language">Khmer</a>: <span lang="km">ល្ខោនខោល</span>, <i>Masked Drama Dance</i>) is a <i>masked dance drama</i> featuring male performers. The repertoire consists solely of material from <a href="/wiki/Reamker" title="Reamker">Reamker</a>. The choreography is styled similarly to the Royal Ballet of Cambodia although not as refined and is performed along to narrators and a <a href="/wiki/Pinpeat" title="Pinpeat">pinpeat</a> ensemble.</li> <li><i><b>Lakhon Pol Srey</b></i> (<a href="/wiki/Khmer_language" title="Khmer language">Khmer</a>: <span lang="km">ល្ខោនពោលស្រី</span>, <i>Female Narrative Theatre</i>) is a dance drama akin to the <i>lakhon khol</i>; the performers being female however. Both forms combine classical theatre and dance and are accompanied by the traditional pin peat orchestra. Unlike <i>Lakhon Khol</i>, which use a separate group of narrators, <i>lakhon pol srey</i> dancers take turns narrating while other members continue to dance. The dancers often lift their masks and narrate directly to the audience. It is believed to have originated from the Kingdom of <a href="/wiki/Oudong" title="Oudong">Oudong</a> between 1618-1628 during the reign of King <a href="/wiki/Chey_Chettha_II" title="Chey Chettha II">Chey Chettha II</a>. In 1878, Ms. Chinh, a great art teacher from Koh Oknheatey, came to teach Lakhon Pol Srey in Wat Keansvay Krao. Today, one of her students, a 70-year-old woman, Ms. Chea Samut, has taken a lead role in reviving lakhaon poul srei and currently teaches this drama form to students at Wat Keansvay Krao, after having disappeared for more than 40 years.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><i><b>Lakhon Berk Bat</b></i> is a lost theatre form in Cambodian Court.

Some older Royal Ballet dancers also recalled hearing that it was created in the late <a href="/wiki/Angkor" title="Angkor">Angkor</a> period, but little is known as to why it was discontinued.

It is assumed that <i>lakhon berk bat</i> was only performed in the presence of royal or noble families due to the dancers elaborate and expensive costumes and jewelry. As the art form emphasized beauty, character and technique, performers were expected to be not only beautiful, but to be able to act, sing, and speak well.
