TANCHEERNA 💃 Dance Friending for Absolute Beginners đŸŽ¶
TANCHEERNA 💃 Dance Friending for Absolute Beginners đŸŽ¶
The most enjoyable dance friending event on Friday night 💃✹ We start with super simple group dances and fun mixers to get everyone laughing and moving together. From there, we add some casual couple dances across a bunch of different styles—mixing European classics (Waltz, Polka) with modern Folklore (Balfolk) and easy-to-learn Latin vibes (ForrĂł). đŸŽ¶đŸ•ș ✅ No experience needed → We focus only on simple dances—and sometimes we even start with a quick lesson to get you going! đŸ•ș ✅ No partner needed → We rotate! Feel free to ask anyone taking a break. If they decline, simply ask someone else 👋 ✅ No dress code → Wear whatever is comfortable for you. 👟 ✅ No pressure → Forget about complex footwork or traditional roles—as long as you can sway to the rhythm, you belong! 🌟 If you love to move and want to make new friends, simply show up on Friday and let’s dance!! đŸ’ƒđŸ”„ **Tančírna** (pronounced *tahn-cheer-nah*) comes from the Czech word "tančit" (to dance) and literally means "**a place for dancing**".
International Café Philo: Open philosophical discussion for everybody
International Café Philo: Open philosophical discussion for everybody
Open philosophical discussion, thinking together about a topic in a philosophical way. The topic will be chosen by the participants at the beginning of the event. No application, no entrance fee.

Holiday walk
Holiday walk
Hello everyone, It looks like it should be a really lovely day this Friday, so let’s go for another walk – this time with a true holiday vibe! Our goal will be to spend as much time as possible surrounded by greenery. :) We will meet at 2 pm in Prague 6 (please see the meeting point) and walk about 9 km, mostly on unpaved paths with minimum incline. Apart from nature, we’ll also have the chance to see some beautiful historical buildings (seriously, you don’t want to miss them! :)). Our journey will end in Prague 2 at a lovely cafĂ©. If you don’t feel like joining us for coffee or drinks, that’s perfectly fine too! Please be on time. Walking shoes and tick protection are recommended. Also, please check the "About" section of this group before joining the event. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you on Friday! Marie
