<\/a>Recently we were pleasantly surprised by a news article referring to a Prague school offering Irish dancing lessons.\u00a0 Come to find out there are two such schools in Prague and many others throughout all of Europe.<\/p>\nThe newest school, Luas Dancing School, is directed by Tereza Louzecka Bach.\u00a0 Her first interest was American style clogging so she teaches that as well.<\/p>\n
Participants are welcome for exercise and fun or they can train for competitions in Poland, Austria, Germany, Holland and eventually on to England and Ireland as well.<\/p>\n
Prague also hosts a branch of the Delaney Academy of Irish Dance based in London.\u00a0 I guess next time we will have to look deeper for a bit of shamrock.<\/p>\n
