Established in 1981, Danish Dance Theatre is the foremost contemporary dance company in Scandinavia. Led by Birmingham-born
artistic director Tim Rushton since 2001, the company is in demand all over the world and performs to
huge international acclaim. Dance Touring Partnership are delighted to welcome the company to
the UK for the first time to help celebrate their 30th Anniversary.
Rushton's unique choreography, which combines the classical lines of ballet with the power of modern dance, captivates audiences and can be seen in all three pieces being performed on the tour.
Enigma, with music by Mathias Friis-Hansen, layers powerful, beautiful and sensual duets as the dancers strive to understand each other.
CaDance is an exciting testosterone-fuelled competition between the 5 male dancers, driven by live music by Andy Pape.
In Kridt (Chalk), an award winning work from 2005 based on Peteris Vasks's exquisite suite for strings Musica Adventus and the texts of Ecclesiastes, a man on the verge of death remembers his life, told by the people he has known.

"This is the Funniest night you'll ever have at the ballet" Sunday Times
Watch out, ballet's very-grandes dames are back!
After sell-out performances in 2008, Les Ballet Trockaderos de Monte Carlo (or 'The Trocks' to their friends) return to the UK with a fantastic programme, a lorry load of costume changes and lashings of diva attitude.
Winners of the Critics' Circle National Dance Awards and the TMA Theatre Award, The Trocks combination of pure comedy, extraordinary technical prowess and genuine love of ballet has made them a global phenomenon since they formed in New York in 1974.
