Introduction to DAAC

      The Danish American Athletic Club 
      (DAAC) was founded by a group of Danish immigrants in 1922 and is patterned after similar organizations in Denmark.

      The objectives for which the DAAC is originally formed is to act as a center for preserving and uphold Danish culture in America through
      maintaining classes in the Danish language, gymnastics, folk dance and other cultural subjects as required or needed for the purpose of strengthening
      the bonds between residents of Danish descent in America. The objective is also to further expand the cultural relations with other Scandinavian ethnic
      groups in the United States and to act as a source of information in academic studies of the cultural impact of Danish immigration to the United States
      of America. Any person interested in the "objectives" of the DAAC are eligible for membership, but must be sponsored by a member 
      in good standing.

	TV Series - Season 2: Badehotellet (The Beach Hotel) Episodes 3 and 4
Storyline: Badehotellet is the story about the guests and staff at a beach hotel by the North Sea sand dunes. At the heart of the story is the lives of three young people, the chambermaid Fie, the merchant's daughter Amanda, and the local fisherman Morten. Their fates are intertwined, and their stories are about emancipating themselves from the plans other people have made on their behalf, the attempts on social ascent, and about losing and finding oneself on the way. The series is inspired by the way of life at the many seaside hotels of the past, and reflects our own time with its mixture of financial crisis, denial, and dreams of happiness. The story takes place in the years 1928-33 where the world is falling apart. The characters will go through tears and laughter in the captivating journey that takes place as times change from optimism to crisis. It's a multi-plot-series that dynamically shifts between upstairs and downstairs, and between seriousness and humour.
