Kevin & Carol Monaghan

Wonderful teachers are flying from Basingstoke to Prague to spread the joy of set dancing. Come and learn new moves, dances and also absorb some of their smooth and elegant dance style.

Swallow's Tail

Let yourself be carried away by amazing music of Swallow's Tail Ceilí Band. Excellent musicians Michael Hurley, John McHugh, Thomas Doherty and Marial Lynn will play the best tunes and you won't have any chance to sit still!

Tereza Macoszek Jindrová

Tereza Macoszek Jindrová will once again host a workshop focused on confidently embracing battering and enjoying its popular elements wherever the music suggests they belong. This time, we’ll also focus on new rhythms that we didn’t explore last time.
