Great Successes at the International Dance Open 2025 and Gala Nomination

KBC-Emeralds and KBC-Rubies at the Award Ceremony
From May 9th to May 11th, the International Dance Open 2025 took place in Zagreb. For three days, our dancers showcased outstanding performances and impressed with their skills. In total, they won 19 golds, 9 silvers, and 7 bronzes.
A special highlight is our dancer Majdulin Al Shater. She was one of the few dancers nominated across the entire competition for participation in the Gala. With her musical solo “DON’T RAIN ON MY PARADE,” choreographed by Kristina Decker, she had the opportunity to showcase her impressive talent once again on Sunday evening during the Gala.
We are incredibly proud of all our dancers and thrilled with their remarkable performances at the International Dance Open 2025. Congratulations to all the dancers and choreographers!
A big thank you goes to our dedicated team of teachers and choreographers:
Kristina Decker, Yvonne Kellinger, Bianca Ogris, Zemfira Manukyan, Filipos Psychogios, Luisa Solowjowa, Hannah Zwainz, Lara Opavsky.
We would also like to thank our office manager, Cordula Feuchtner, as well as all the parents who actively support us and the dancers. Without you, this success would not have been possible!
Don’t Dream it.
Be it.
