Event Description

Enjoy a delightful evening of live music and dancing at the Embassy of the Czech Republic. Indulge in a dinner buffet feast of Czech cuisine as you make new friends.

You do not need a date or prior dance experience to attend, as we will show you how to dance, even if you have never danced before with a swing dance lesson at the beginning prior to dancing to a live band in the ballroom of the Embassy of the Czech Republic.

Enjoy a delightful evening of live music and dancing at the Embassy of the Czech Republic, in honor of Eliška Junková, the first woman ever to win a Grand Prix motor race. Born in the Czech lands, she was famously known as the “Queen of the Steering Wheel” as she competed in the 1920s against Europe’s top male drivers, an unconceivable accomplishment at that time. Her pioneering legacy was preserved in the classic jazz composition "Bugatti Step” by famous Czech composer Jaroslav Ježek.

Indulge in a dinner buffet feast of Czech cuisine and beer as you meet other attendees and make new friends. Dance the night away in the Ballroom of the Embassy of the Czech Republic to live music by Orchester Prazevica, performing music from the Czech Republic with influences from countries of the lower Danube including Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania.
