Anna Ward began dancing in Olomouc twenty-eight years ago. With a solid foundation in recreational ballroom dancing and a passionate interest in the culture of the Celtic peoples, she immersed herself in the world of competitive Irish step dancing. Teaching Irish céilí later directed her to social dances with a folk base.
Since 2015, she has been dedicated to balfolk and, within it, Breton dances in Brno as a founding member and lecturer of the Ton Simple dance club. For promoting Breton culture, she received the honorary title “Ambassador of Bretons in the world” from the Bretagne regional authority.
Her idea of a night well spent is at a small dance hall in Brittany with natives of all ages and live music played on obnoxiously loud musical instruments. For solo dance self-realization, she sometimes goes line dancing.

Anna is of the opinion that everyone can dance, and as a teacher, she will tirelessly try to explain to you that this applies to you as well. She considers Vincent Laine, Mikuláš Bryan, Mary McElroy, and Anne Kennedy to be the most important people she met on her dance journey. Apart from them, she learned the most from the thousands of dancers with whom she shared dance floors in Brittany, where she goes whenever she can. Among her most valuable dance experiences are the many hours spent on the aforementioned Brittany dance floors, the encounter with a directive approach to dance training that convinced her that this was not where her path should go, and the confrontation with her own physical imperfections that helps her understand that human perfection does not exist.
