WELLINGTON GYMNASTICS ASSOCIATION

The sound of the entrance music signals pride and tension.  A few seconds then -  Approach * Take off * Double Somersault * Double Twist - Upside Down.  Two seconds later the feet are back on the ground again!

This is a unique chance for Wellingtonians to see the Elite Team from the Danish Academy of Physical Education.

The Elite Team is an explosive mix of 30 young men and women, all present or former students of the Academy.  The team travels overseas regularly to represent Denmark with its diverse and exciting performance, demonstrating ground-breaking developments in the sport of display gymnastics.

The uniqueness and variety in the performance is brought about by the diversity of the athletes themselves, their ages, and their abilities.  The spectacular performance is enhanced with music and showcases dance, danger and gravity-defying acrobatics.

The performance in Wellington will be opened by display gymnastic teams from local clubs, top Wellington artistic and rhythmic gymnasts, cheerleading and a local CircoArt group.

The live performance "Acrobatics Extravaganza" will be held at the Queens Wharf Events Centre on Monday 11 October at 7pm.  Tickets are available from Ticketek.
