Why Prague?
Prague is a beautiful city with many attractions for visitors and we are most fortunate to have the support of the National Theatre (Národní Divadlo) who have made their spectacular dance studio facilties (home of the Czech National Ballet) available to us. Originally the complex was a monastery.
