About Yearbook and Special Edition of Taneční aktuality

In 2018, Taneční aktuality’s editors began to publish a print magazine called Special Edition containing many attractive texts written exclusively for this edition - they are original texts that have not been published on Taneční aktuality website nor in any other medium. Special Edition is bilingual and thus accessible to English-speaking readers. Special Edition’s predecessor was the Yearbook – a publication digesting the most important texts of the season complete with bonus texts that had not been published on the website. This edition has been already closed, it was published from the 2006/2007 to 2016/2017 season. More information to be found here.
