Sponsored by ENERVEX, Inc., Dante Stephensen, and the Scandinavian Festival, this tour is themed โ€˜IMANI,โ€™ which is a Swahili word meaning โ€˜trustโ€™ or โ€˜faith.โ€™ For the 28 highly skilled young athletes who were selected from all over Denmark to travel the world at their own expense, this is a true living example of IMANIโ€™s core value โ€“ to believe in something or someone. IMANI ignites this value through the expression of the human body around several key themes including:

โ€ข Self-doubt, hierarchy and heartbreak
โ€ข Falling in love
โ€ข Finding a place to belong in the community

For these 28 gymnasts, joining the team has been a lifelong dream. Seven of the gymnasts have just graduated high school, several worked as gymnastic teachers before joining the team, and many are taking a break from their studies in such different fields as law, political science, chiropractic and English. The U.S. is the seventh leg of the NDPTโ€™s six-month tour around the world. The tour began in September and since then tens of thousands of people have enjoyed the team in Denmark, Germany, Tanzania, Australia, Indonesia, China and Mexico.
