The day starts with the energy-filled drum show by Banda Grande, which attracts guests as well as random passers-by. A musical programme of various genres is presented – from the saxophone and double bass quartet, a cross-section of musical melodies from the whole world, to the best opera arias by the Prague Conservatory musicians.
In special programme blocks, inSpiral Dance demonstrates the Irish step and Pole Heaven Studio performs the pole dance. Soloists from professional ballet ensembles, such as the Prague National Theatre, Moravian Theatre in Olomouc, South Bohemian Theatre, Prague Chamber Ballet and Laterna Magika take part in the Golden Day. These performances are supplemented by their younger followers from the Bohemia Ballet Dance Conservatory in Prague and the Prague Conservatory Dance Centre. The ballet genre is also presented in the interactive ballet workshop for children and adults by the Prague National Theatre Ballet.
The culmination of the whole programme is a flashmob entertainment block, featuring Place 4 People instructors: a multiple participant of the StarDance competition, Marek Dědík, and dancer Adéla Koubková. Simple choreography is prepared under their leadership and during the day, there are workshops with choreographers, where everyone can learn the flashmob steps. The programme on the main stage ends with the acrobatic Wall Dance, which takes human performance literally to a new dimension. We move from the horizontal stage to the vertical level and the artists dance directly on the National Theatre's technical building.
Apart from the programme on the main stage, a number of other activities await visitors: partner stalls, Czech Television photobox, a pole-dance stall with professional lecturers and of course an interactive workshop space where the public can try out a mix of the dance styles. The day starts with a warm-up in the form of the increasingly popular yoga stretching. In addition, visitors can try out the basics of the Irish tap dance, Indian Bollywood dance, Argentinian Tango, Brazilian Salsa and Ballroom dance. A workshop of “music - singing – acting” is organised for non-dancing visitors.
