Bernard's




This website belongs to Tereza, Markéta, Lenka and Václav Bernard from Prague, the Czech Republic. Irish culture is our common hobby and the most of all it is Irish dancing in all its forms – from step dancing and sean-nós dancing to Irish set dancing. Our activities were connected with the oldest Czech Irish dancing group called Rinceoirí, where Václav acted as a principal leader for more then 10 years, Tereza significantly formed its dancing standard in position of artistic leader and Markéta danced and also documented its journeys and successes in written and photographic form. Within the framework of this dancing group we conceived a very popular Summer School of Irish Dancing – Bernards Summer School. The first one took place in 2001 and the number of participants and the rich Irish culture programme has no rival in continental Europe at present. Three years later we established Rinceoirí Irish Dance Academy (RIDA) as a part of Rinceoirí, which was attended by around 140 people interested in Irish dancing during the past few years. Currently Václav and Lenka are members of Prague Irish Set Dancers, Tereza dances in Hession School in Galway and Markéta attends Delaney Academy Prague classes and occasionally sings with a band called Shannon.

Our website acts as promotion of Irish dancing in the Czech Republic, it is a source of information for those who are interested in the Summer School of Irish Dancing - Bernards Summer School and other similar events in this country. We will be delighted if you always find something interesting and inspiring for yourselves with every visit of our website.

Nude bike race a great idea

Something special from Catolic Ireland:

The county that’s promising to bring Ireland its first ever installation of the wacky Paddy Games brought together 56 daring cyclists to pedal naked around the streets of Cork in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Co.Cork, proudly and aptly known as The Rebel County, hosted the event to roughly coincide with the Cork Cycling Arts Festival. It got underway at 5:45am, and despite the typically dismal weather conditions and half-frozen participants it was a roaring success by all accounts.
