Advance news of the intention of the Prague Civil Grenadiers Corps to give six dance-reunions during the forthcoming carnival season was published by Bohemia 15/12/1850. This report specified that they would take place on 16th, 23rd, 30th January and on 6th, 13th and 26th February. A musical trial would be given in advance of the reunions on 5/1/1851 in the Konvikt Hall.

Details of this event, noting the venue and the date of the production, were published in the Tagesanzeiger texts of Bohemia 28/1/1851 and 30/1/1851.

Bohemia 15/12/1850 also published a personal notice from the Prague dance master ‘Mar. Růžička’ refuting allegations that his appointment as dance director to the forthcoming reunions to be given by the Civil Grenadiers Corps had been obtained by fraud and by begging the dance committee. These rumours had according to this notice been propagated by the contemporary dance master Tolde.
