And the result is worth mentioning: In total 12 National Championship Titles, 20 Runner-Ups and 9 Third Places were achieved. And many, many numbers qualified for the Dance World Cup (DWC) in Portugal!

Especially proud we are about the results in the categories Junior Solo Jazz & Showdance and Children Solo Tap. In these categories the places 1 – 3 resp. 1 – 4 were taken by the Broadway Connection. A sign for our quality and hard work of our students.

Congratulations to all!

Also a big thank you to the whole teacher team. Especially KrisTina Decker and all moms, dads and grannies whe helped tirelessly with make-up, sewing, hairdressing, etc. Thank You!

Massive Success at the Austrian Open 2014 in Klagenfurt

Austrian Open 2014

Broadway Connection Competition Team, Austrian Open 2014

On Wednesday, March 26th 2014 KrisTina Decker travelled together with 40 dancers of the Broadway Connection and the Broadway Academy of Musical Theatre and a group of active parents to Klagenfurt to participate in the Austrian Open, the Austrian Championships in Musical and Showdance 2014.

Our choreographers Petra Böhm, Miriam Lechlech, Valentin Gambino, Ralph Galvan, Wei-Ken Jeffrey Liao and before-mentioned KrisTina Decker choreographed many routines which were going to compete with the best dancers and dance schools of the Nation.

The result is impressive. Our Competition Dancers returned with – believe it or not – 22 Championship Titles, 6 Runner-Ups and 11 Third Places!

The jury – consisting of famous teachers, dancers and actors – judged our Competition Team in all age groups and the disciplines Jazz, Musical, Song & Dance, Open, Hip Hop, Tap Dance, Contemporary, Acrobatic and Production Numbers.

We congratulate all participants! KrisTina and her team are really proud of their protégés, as competitive sport (make-up at 5 a.m., dancing until 9 p.m. – and on top the change to daylight saving time!) is no “bed of roses”. Hard practice and iron discipline resulted in the success of our competition dancers.

Don’t Dream It.
Be It.

After the successful re-staging of Cindy’s Dream last year, the Broadway Company presents “Once Upon a Mirror • A Different Snow White“.

What is this show about? Well, you take the well-known fairy tale of Snow White, put it into new “clothes”, enhance the story with peppy songs from musicals and pop charts, add exciting choreographies and you’ll get a new musical that will enchant the whole family.

See the turbulent story of Snow White Bianca: After returning from a study abroad, Bianca needs to adapt to many changes at home, fight her power hungry stepmother  and deal with the Disney princesses Arielle, Aurora and Anna.

She also needs to bring the dwarfs to trust her and there was also something about a prince …      Poor Bianca!

Join the Broadway Company ensemble of “Once Upon a Mirror” on a journey full of unexpected adventures, thrill and humor, like you have never seen before. All of that in June in the Theater Akzent.
