Nanda: A Japanese word used as a response to seeing a very strange or
surprising thing.

Nanda is: Chen Pollina, Kiyota Sage, Misha Fradin, & Tomoki Sage.  The
four "acrobaticalists" compress as much action packed entertainment as
they can into a short, high energy show that leaves no time for
dilly-dallying, and always inspires the viewers.

It is hard to categorize Nanda. They juggle, they dance, they fight, they
are musicians, comedians and acrobats.  They are scientists experimenting
with the art of performance and living on the edge where new ideas are
born. The Nandinian philosophy is simple.  Acrobaticalism.  While living
by this philosophy no matter what you do its an exciting & entertaining
combination of spectacularness & excellence.

Nandas juggling consists of many different passing patterns interwoven
seamlessly together with music, and involving two to four people and six
to thirteen juggling clubs. They have a unique style of break dancing that
includes a lot of flips and handsprings worked into a dance with more
conventional break dancing groundwork (spins, handstands, stalls etc.).
Then there is the fighting, always an audience favorite. It looks like the
kung fu movies came alive, but without the special effects and wirework.

Nandas goal is to provide extreme doses of entertainment to as many people as possible.
