HISTORY OF IDO WORLD TAP DANCE

30 years of IDO World Tap dance Championships

Monika Jeník Bačkovská / Prague - Czech Republic, Dancer | Teacher | Choreographer

I started taking the tap dance classes when I was 5. During my active career I won multiple national and European titles. At the age of 20, I started to choreograph in Dance Studio Andrea Prague. I will never forget the first children formation, that won the world gold medal in Riesa 2008. And what more, these same kids won even more titles along with the most memorable gold medal with "The zebras" in 2011. Watching the little kids growing into successful juniors and adults is a real happiness for me. I also love to work with my adults 2 formations. These ladies are not only great tap dancers, but also my best friends.

In 2015, I became the co-founder of my beloved Tap Academy Prague. Now I feel, I really do what I always wanted to do. We have great team of tap dancers and teachers and TAP is my hobby, my life and my family. I will always be grateful that after 25 years I still work with my best friend and best co-choreographer Tomáš Slaví č ek, I can still visit Riesa and Mr. Michael Wendt and that even my daughters will soon be part of our tap family.
