Thai classical music and dance: The Thai school promotes a Thai classical music and dance program.
The program aims to promote an appreciation for different dance styles and enjoyment through song
and dance


 Thai dance
(Thai: รำไทย Ram Thai or ระบำ Rabam)

is the main dramatic art form of Thailand.
Thai dance, like many forms of traditional
Asian dance, can be divided into two major
categories that correspond roughly to
the high art (classical dance) and low art
(folk dance) distinction.

Thai classical dance drama include Khon,
Lakhon, and Fawn Thai. Folk dance forms
include dance theatre forms like Likay,
numerous regional dances (Ram), the
ritual dance Ram Muay, and homage to the
teacher, Wai Khru. Both Ram Muay and
Wai Khru take place before all traditional
Muay Thai matches. The Wai is also an
annual ceremony performed by
Thai classical dance groups to honor
their artistic ancestors.
