The wheelchair- dancers group from Munich together with the gymnasts Michael Hau and Philipp Boy sent their greetings included in an extraordinary program with top-performances. The kick-off event for the “Blume-Festival” took place with 13 other international groups in a nice location in front of the striking oecumenic church. Among the groups were “Sportgymnasium Dornbirn” (AUT), the group “RSG Saar” (GER) and “Toolwoth Gymnastics Club” (GBR).
The atmosphere was great at this open-air show in the middle of the touristic center of the island. The audience, who stopped there spontaneously while passing by, was thrilled by the dance, acrobatics and gymnastics performances.
