History

The couple representing the country in the first Eurovision Dance Contest in 2007, Mette Skou Elkjær and David Kim Ehlers Jørgensen, were chosen on a live national selection event on 24 August 2007. The dances they performed at the contest were a Rumba to "Love Fool" by Olivia Ong, and a freestyle, to "LoveStoned/I Think She Knows" by Justin Timberlake.[1] Denmark came ninth after receiving 38 points from 10 countries.

In 2008, Denmark were represented by Patrick Spiegelberg and Katja Svensson, who were selected internally. Their routine was a lyrical jazz dance with elements of samba, tango and pasodoble. They danced to the Twin Peaks theme by Angelo Badalamenti, which was performed by The Daniel Caine orchestra and "Igen & Igen" by Nephew.[2] Denmark came sixth; despite receiving no 12 points, Denmark received the full 48 points from the jury.

The Third Eurovision Dance Contest has been cancelled indefinitely.[3]
