Folklore
There are several folklore shows organised in Prague. To be really honest none of them is the folklore for the local people ( locals do not care :-). All folklore evenings are organised for the foreign visitors and tourists. The organisers hire professional dancers and singers and quality musicians, so the quality is all right. Just do not expect so meet the locals there.
Very long tradition has the restaurant U Marcanu. They offer the wine party Folklore show with the music, dancing, dinner and wine from the special pipes. This show is more traditional.
More interactive and entertaining is the Folklore garden. They offer a similar show, but also an english commentary of all the show and they try to teach people to dance and sing.
