In Lao and Southeast Asian traditions, one of the beloved stories is that of the beautiful Kinnaly princess Manola who was trapped on earth but fell in love with a human prince. A standard dance in a Lao dance troupe's repertoire is the Fon Manola. Here, we see the Royal Lao Classical Dancers of Tennessee demonstrating the technique in 2009 during their Lao New Year celebrations.
