Prague Dance Now International celebrates and promotes the variety of performing arts, and the quality that is born from it, thus providing a chance for artist of different ages and dance experience to try out, affirm, perfect and enrich their performing experience, at the same time creating unforgettable memories and new friendships. Through art, as a universal language, young artists expand their horizons not only in the dance world, but also historically and culturally, traveling and socializing. We look forward to your presence and participation in this fusion of generations, styles, rhythms and cultures, through which we will all together enrich the dance as an art, a medium and a universal language. Be part of our magic in the city of incredible beauty and sophistication! There’s something extra-special about Prague that sets it apart from the other big cities of Europe. Whether it’s the Gothic cathedrals and Baroque palaces, or the more than 200 gardens scattered across the city, Prague offers a true escape from the modern world. For architecture and history buffs, there’s really nowhere better to be. From the heart of Old Town Square to Prague Castle up on the hill, you could spend your days wandering up and down the river, marveling at the city. Join us on the stage in this magical city, a favorite of all lovers of mysticism, renaissance and modern life. Golden Prague, is a city with a "hundred" of towers, the mother of all cities, and when you step into it, you'll think you've stepped into a fairy tale. Trees, orchards and parks cascade down to the Vltava, which features an incredible number of beautiful bridges while hundreds of towers, spiers and gilded domes tear up the sky.
