National Danish Performance Team Touring the USA with

The National Danish Performance Team gives you gymnastics with an attitude
with the show Connections. The show is a mix of graceful movements, dynamic
and energetic sequences, colourful and life inspiring choreographies and powerful
vaulting and tumbling. This is performance gymnastics at its’ best and the Danes
have been leaders in this field for 100 years.

NDPT presents a unique form of movement: traditional Danish gymnastics
inspired by current dance trends, combined with artistic tumbling and acrobatics.
The Connections show will be the highlight of the NDPT week-long visit to 15 U.S.
cities, kicking off a 10-month world tour.

The NDPT also brings a message of fitness for life to U.S. youth and adults. As an
ambassador of healthy living, NDPT is proud to spread the message of The
President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition and First Lady Mrs. Obama’s Lets
Move campaign. The Presidents Council and Lets Move recognize and endorse the
important message on healthy living and an active lifestyle promoted by NDPT.

Since 1994 NDPT has provided young gymnasts with a unique opportunity to
discover the world. Since the beginning the team has visited more than 58
countries and more than 1.5 million people have seen the performances.
This USA tour will bring the team through 15 states across the country and the
team expects to perform at least 50 shows during their three month visit.
Additionally, the team offers workshops at schools, community centers, and work
places that teach people at all ages that healthy living can be fun.

The team consists of 28 gymnasts, equally divided between male and female
athletes. The gymnasts on the team are not paid professionals but participate on
a voluntary basis travelling the world in the spirit of giving people an experience
they will never forget.
