In my bachelor thesis, I am writing about two personalities of the Czech dance scene, Jarmila Kröschlová, dancer, teacher and choreographer who was working mostly in Prague, and Eliška Bláhová, a teacher working mostly in Brno. I have focused on the leading principles of their respective methods of dance and movement, that they have based on the study of the method of rhythm and movement of Émile Jaques-Dalcroze and that they have been further developing throughout their pedagogical careers. I have tried to compare the methods of Jarmila Kröschlová and Eliška Bláhová with special attention as to how they use the Jaques-Dalcroze method, especially his work with rhythm. Eventually, this comparison shows that Bláhová put a bigger emphasis on the rhythmical aspects of movements and their specific execution, while Kröschlová worked also with dynamics and a general expression of movement, which led to her creating a dancing method that she used even in her choreographic activities. The context is further supplemented by a reflection of several other receptions of the Jaques-Dalcroze method within the Czech dance scene.
