DANISH GYMNASTS SLATED Here are four of the 16
young women who will take part in the program of rhythmical
gymnastics, balance, folk dances, acrobatics, apparatus work and
tumbling in the senior high gymnasium Tuesday, April 11, at 8
p.m. Sixteen young men in the famous Danish Gymnastics team
will also perform.
Famous Gymnasts
Here on Tuesday
"A two-hour demonstration of
grace, suppleness and balance"
will be presented Tuesday eve
ning( April 11, in the senior high
gymnasium when the famous
Danish Gymnasts team appears
L in Medford, Athletics Director
, Lee Ragsdale said.
Proceeds from the show after
expenses will go toward the high
school athletic fund. The show
will start at 8 p. m.
Sixteen young women and as
many young men will take part
in the exhibition of rhythmical
and fundamental gymnastics,
balancing, folk dances, acrobat
ics, apparatus and tumbling.
Olympic Champs
Medford will be but one of
several hundred cities in Canada
and the United States in which
the Danish young men and wom
en will show their abilities this
year. Two of them are 1940
Olympic champions and all were
selected last summer on the ba
sis of competitive trials.
Tumbling, for instance, resem
bles a new form of attempted
suicide, or so it appeared to a
New York Times writer who
viewed the show last fall, said
in his news article.
One phase of the demonstra
tion consists of the men in the
group to throw the young wom
en across the floor at one anoth
er. This is done with such vigor
that even jitterbug dancers be
come astounded at the act.
The men vary in age from 18
to 30 and the women are about
in the same age range.
Gasps and often cheers are
brought from the crowds that
watch these Danish athletes per
form. The men using the appara
tus and doing the tumbling throw
themselves at and over bucks,
walk on their hands as though
in a military drill and all with
much grace.
The dances the men and wom
en perform seem to be vigorous
versions of a cross between the
minuet .square dance and polka.
Calisthenics are used as "warm
ing up" exercises for tumbling
and apparatus work.
The demonstration Tuesday
night will be one of the few
times such a group has perform
ed in Medford.
