NATHY’S Ballet Academy in Prague is an international ballet school – taking a very different approach to how children can spend their leisure time. We discover and develop their hidden talent, whilst they enjoy the learning through play and having great fun. Our mission is to have our young students really look forward to their next lesson at NATHY’S. While the children enjoy learning and practicing their new skills, you are invited to relax in our stylish and relaxing “Parent Area” with a fresh espresso or tea, meeting and chatting with other parents, or simply having some “You Time” with your book or magazine.

A playful child-centred approach with an international feel

We know every child is different and our approach to our young students reflects that understanding. Therefore, our classes are smaller - not more than 12 students - than you may experience in other schools. Creating a safe learning environment while we play and dance is core to how we do things. Our teachers are time-served professionals in dance and movement, experts with international experience of working with young people and small children. NATHY’S teaches creativity, developing improvisation skills and really encourages the child’s own imagination. Learning great skills such as feeling the music and rhythm are a bonus!

Dance classes for children and adults

NATHY’S is here for students of all ages! For the little ones from the age of 3 Rhythm, Movement and Play helps the child understand the link between the musical rhythm and their own movements. This helps with co-ordination skills, creativity and confidence.

For adults we offer a wide range of varying dance activity classes. Maybe you want to fulfill that childhood dream of dancing? Even if you left it behind many years ago, NATHY’S will help you find your ideal environment to “get back into step” again!

For children’s classes (those between 3 and15) we arrange the learning by age, which helps the individual student develop their skills at whatever stage of their experience and ability. Some other schools just focus on classical ballet, at NATHY’S our expertise and teaching skills offers both the classical approach and so much more – why not check out our broad range of dance options?

Our international approach – partnering and learning

As part of a truly international approach to what we do, NATHY’S partners with other schools outside the Czech Republic. Trips away to our partners in other countries help us maintain our unique, leading edge methods and that extends to our students. Exchange trips to ballet academies abroad which share our vision of excellence, will be a bonus for our students, allowing them a unique opportunity to attend, compete and make new friends.

Our primary aim: Having a fun-filled and healthy time!

Core to our aim is to ensure all of our young (and not so young!) learners have a great time. We really want them to look forward to their next class! A safe learning environment is essential to help us build strength and skills in our students. NATHY’S Ballet Academy is fitted with a professional ballet floor in our dancing hall, of the same specification as fitted in the National Theatre of Prague. This ensures everyone’s joints are protected, something that is critical to the skills and craft we love. For the same reason, we train only exercises which are safe for children and follow the latest developments in ballet education for children. We believe that having a great time goes hand in hand with protecting, maintaining and improving the health of each and every one of our students and trainers as well! 

A special place to learn and a special place to be…

NATHY’S is based in an exceptional and very stylishly appointed building, originally built in1856. We have an abundance of natural light, an environment exquisitely appointed and furnished makes NATHY’S a very special place to learn dance. Safe, child friendly surroundings blend with a great place for you to relax, while your child has fun and learns their new dance skills and confidence. You are very welcome to come and see this very special place for yourself! We have ample, stress-free, secure parking areas in a leafy suburb of Prague 6.
