The 'Taneční' (Dancing Lessons) are a unique Czech tradition where 15-year-olds learn ballroom dancing and are required to 'hodit se do gala' every week. The influence of the Austro-Hungarian court still dictates that certain events, like the Philharmonic balls, have a very strict 'gala' dress code. Even in modern tech companies, 'Christmas parties' (vánoční večírky) are often themed, and employees enjoy the chance to 'hodit se do gala' once a year.
