We investigate theoretically skyrmion magnonic crystal, i.e., the dynamics of the magnetization in a chain of the ferromagnetic nanodots being in skyrmion magnetic configuration. We show that collective excitations are possible to be observed in the structure. We present the dispersion relation of the coupled skyrmions. It exhibit a periodical property in dependence on wave vector, characteristic feature of the band structure in magnonic crystals. Spatial analysis of the magnetization amplitude associated with the magnonic bands confirms type of the excited modes, as breathing and clockwise gyrotropic dynamical skyrmions. These high and low frequency excitations, propagate with negative and positive group velocity, respectively, and can be explored for study fundamental properties and technological applications in spintronics and magnonics.
