The Czech National Ballet in Prague occupies a solid position in the Central European context. Its founding in 1883 gave rise to the continuous evolutionary tradition of Czech professional dance. The largest in the country, the Czech National Ballet is a truly cosmopolitan company, today made up of 76 dancers of 19 nationalities. This diversity affords it a colourful scale of means of expression, with the result being a blending together of numerous dance schools and styles, mutual enrichment and inspiration.
