Programme
The organizer of the event is the DYLEŇ Karlovy Vary Song and Dance Ensemble, z.s.
At present, Dyleň has 113 members, starting with the tiny Holoubátky, through the slightly larger Blešky, the Dyleň Children's Folk Ensemble (the children's components are co-organized by the Karlovy Vary House of Children and Youth - Čankovská), folk music and the adult component. It consists of 7 senior dance couples and 10 couples of Deer, which are high school and university students, mostly former dancers of the children's ensemble. Few adult ensembles can boast of having parents and their children dancing on stage at the same time. In fact, the arrival of young members from the children's company to the adult category does not mean a change of generations in Dyleni, but only an expansion of the company. They all perform in reconstructed Carlsbad costumes.
