About

Teaching contemporary dance
We teach students to work from their own experience and discover the ease and lightness of movement using the natural lines of the body and its energy.
Programmes for the public
All dance teachers and anybody who is interested are invited to learn more about Duncan methodology and the principles of Duncan dance technique.
From history
History of our school goes back to 1992 and is connected with its founder, Eva Blažíčková, who built on the legacy of the American dancer Isadora Duncan and her Czech successor Jarmila Jeřábková. Isadory Duncan's school in Prague was run by her sister Elizabeth, who was in Prague from 1931-32. The Duncan style was later associated especially with the pioneer of modern dance in Czechoslovakia, Jarmila Jeřábková.
Duncan Centre Conservatory today
We understand dance as a way of life. Teaching dance is not just a practical question. It is the question of values. Values are crucial. We start from the belief that decisive moments in human life take place in a specific place. We understand education as the awakening of a human to looking for the way to their own sources. Everyone in their own way.
Unique environment
Our conservatory offers pleasant and friendly environment with several dance studios and well equipped theoretical classrooms.
