Something I’ve discovered about Kroměříž is its passion for dancing. Actually, one of the four special dance shoes shops in the CR is in Kroměříž (the other three are in Prague). There are many dance academies and people of all ages can learn from Czech polka to mambo.
Some weeks ago an international dance conquest took place in this town. Participants came from different parts of the Czech Republic and also from Poland, Slovakia and Russia. The event went on for the whole day, but we just spent the Saturday morning there.
As in every competition, there were several categories and different dance styles. As you can imagine, it was beautiful to see: A display of colourful dresses showing off on the floor, really talented children dancing like professionals, slick-haired guys in tailcoats, girls in night dresses and slippers in the corridors.
It was a bit shocking for me to see czechs dancing samba, but I must admit they were great!!

In the afternoon, I was invited to Katka’s to make Bábovka, a traditional Czech bundt cake, which reminded me to the Spanish bizcochón. I’ve read that the shape of Bábovka is inspired by the large skirts worn by older Czech women.
Little Karolinka helped me with the dough. The result was a yummi yummi Bábovka with chocolate!! I’ll try to make it at home.
