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.
