Frank Stasio reports that in a suburb of Washington, D.C., a group of Cambodian-American teachers is trying to keep alive the tradition of classical Cambodian dance. After the Cambodian genocide of the 1970's, the perpetuation of that art form was threatened, as most of Cambodia's artistic figures were murdered. Now, in the U.S., young Cambodian-Americans are reviving the dance.
