Prager Morgenpost 30/12/1858 published news of this series of Dance-Garlands continuing during the Carnival period and being given in the Konvikt Hall each Thursday on 13, 20, 27 January and 3, 10, 17 and 24 February. The series was to end with a Festival Ball. The text noted the participation of the ensemble of Wernhardt under the direction of its Kapellmeister L. Jeschko [Ludevít Ješko].

An advertisement for these ‘Tanz-Kränzchen [Dance Garlands] published in both Prager Morgenpost 12/1/1859 and 13/1/1859 listed the dates of the events in this series as well as the admission prices. For the whole series an entry ticket cost 2fl 60kr in new Austrian currency. Admission to a single producion cost 50kr in advance or 70kr at the door. The prices of an advance ticket for the whole series and for tickets available at the door were published in an advertisement appearing in Prager Morgenpost 20/1/1859.

A unsigned report appeared in Prager Morgenpost 23/1/1859 noting that of the new events organized as entertainments for the Carnival season, this series of dance garlands, themselves ‘favourite all-year [round] entertainments in the Konvikt Hall’ were particularly worthy of mention. The second entertainment was deemed to be ‘as welcome’ as the first. ‘The society was again refined and numerous. The tasteful decoration of the Hall, provided by the decorator Mr Leichner, deserves acknowledgement. The pieces of music were executed by the distinguished Regimental musical ensemble of the Infantry Regiment of Baron von Wernhardt.’ No further details of the musical content of the programme were related.
