It seems that there are more and more events every year. Not all are organised by us but all seem to be a wonderful opportunity to dance and enjoy pleasant company. Many of our participants speak English and there's also no problem in calling the dances in both Czech and English. If you'd like to attend our event but still have some questions or doubts, feel free to contact us.

We would like to invite you to our upcoming event:
Our
traditional autumn dance workshop led by Katka Klementová (Chorea Historica,
Societa di Danza),
will once again be an opportunity to learn some new dances, refresh the older
ones and enjoy an interesting evening at the ball.
The event takes place at the Governor's Palace (Místodržitelský palác) at Moravské náměstí 1a.

DANCE
WORKSHOP: 10:00 – 17:00
The
workshop is suitable for both seasoned and inexperienced dancers, because the
dances are relatively easy. Feel free to invite your friends and others
interested in this period. A short repetition or explanation will take place
before each dance at the ball so that those who have not attended the workshop
can also join in.

the workshop after registration and payment by bank transfer by 31 October is CZK 450, the price of the whole-day
programme is 550,- CZK, tickets for the ball only are for CZK 250. After the deadline, the prices are 550,- for the workshop, 650 for the whole day and 300 for the Ball.
The fee covers the tutor, PA, hall rental and musical accompaniment at the ball. Workshop participants have a discounted admission to the evening ball.

REGENCY
BALL - 19:30 - 23:30
The
previous balls were successful beyond all expectations - most participants made
an effort and arrived in costume, and the result was a lovely experience in
pleasant company, as if we indeed travelled in time. Thus we will again have
the opportunity to enjoy historical and simple dances and costumes. Period
dress is a pleasant thing, but if you are not able to get one, please do
not worry and come anyway!
A short repetition or explanation will take place before each
dance to help everyone join in. The
atmosphere at the ball is friendly and relaxed and fellow dancers will always
help you to fit in and enjoy the dancing, however inexperienced you may be. We
are all there to enjoy it! :-)
Accommodation: Participants coming from afar who
prefer a few hours of sleep after the ball before travelling back home can make
use of accommodation facilities in the vicinity of the palace: the Hostel Jacob or the distinctive Hostel Mitte or
via Couchsurfing.
You can
invite your friends using the event poster or via the FB event. If you have any
practical questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
If you would like to know about our future
events in time, you can sign up to receive information by e-mail.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are looking forward to meeting you :-)
