Would you like to dance? / Smim prosit?

The Czech Republic (and Slovakia) has an interesting tradition. If you are a high school student your mom will most likely force you to go to “do tanecnich” ( Dancing school). It is a very inexpensive way to not only learn how to dance almost any type of dance that currently exists (seriously, they teach you anything from Polka to Samba to Foxtrot) but it is also a socialization tool for all of the pimply kids out there. When you are 15 or 16 years old, it is hard to talk to the opposite sex (well, for most of us anyway). But this dancing school makes you to do exactly that. At the beginning of each weakly session you are forced into pairs (male -female) whether you like it or not.

Once you are paired up, naturally you have to start speaking to that other human being. And then it goes downhill from there…If you are interested in finding out some more “inside” stuff about this topic, read about it on the Radio Prague website by clicking here.
