Abstrakt This article deals with The First Czechoslovakian Dance Artists’ Conference, which took place in Brno on 28th and 29th March 1950, based on the stenographic notation of its pro¬gress. Due to the large range of stenographic notation, it focuses on the most discussed themes, such as; period dance scene condition; the recently established state-owned education system; private dance studios; critical com¬ments on work of dance critic and theorist Jan Reimoser. Participants’ convictions and thoughts illustrate the process of forming new ideo¬logical stances on the dance art sphere in Czechoslovakia after 1948; it reveals personal stances of each participant. It shows: am¬biguous dance artists’ relationship to the newly forming state-owned education system together with the requirement for shutting down private dance studios, clashes of modern and ballet dance repre¬sentatives and the usage of their teaching methods while training new dancers, social and existential status issues, finding new ballet repertoire and its artistic sources.
