We congratulate the dancers and choreographers of our Competition Teams to a great result. Our students won 17 First, 15 Second and 8 Third Places at the Austrian DanceStar Championships in Zell am See.

We are especially happy, that all our dances – except for one injured dancer – qualified for the World Dance Masters in Poreč (Croatia) and two thirds even qualified for the A-Finale!

We are very proud, that our Elite group with Schindlers Liste (Choreography: Petra Böhm) was nominated to perform at the Gala Night of the World Masters.

We thank our dancers and choreographers for the hard word and discipline, as well as the parents for their support. Without them these results would not be possible.

Don’t Dream It.
Be It.

After the sensational result at the Austrian Open in Musical- & Showdance in Klagenfurt and the similar impressive result at the European Open in Villach, our competition team returned from the Austrian Championships in STREETDANCE & PERFORMING ARTS in Hartberg with 27 Gold, 13 Silver and 10 Bronze Awards.

Our thank goes also to the contest group choreographers KrisTina Decker, Petra Böhm, Miriam Lechlech, Wei-Ken Liao, Michelle Hoffmann, Ralph Galvan and Maria Gabler. We also want to thank our parents, relatives, friends and supporters who support our students so intensly at the competitions and in the preparation.

We congratulate our competition team to a sensational result of 31 National Championship Titles, 11 Vice-Champions and 14 Third Places at the Austrian Open 2015! That is the best result that we ever mastered at the Austrian Open, the Austrian Championship in Musical & Showdance.

From April 23 – 26 2015 our competition team – consisting of dancers of the Broadway Connection and the Broadway Academy of Musical Theatre – participated in the Austrian Open 2015.

"Future Talent" Sebastian Hofbauer

“Future Talent” Sebastian Hofbauer

In a perfect environment – thanks to the organisers! – our dancers felt really well and with the support of KrisTina Decker, Petra Böhm, Michelle Hoffmann, Miriam Lechlech, Desiree Loy and few active parents they could give their best during qualification and final round. Thanks to all who helped!

We congratulate all the dancers who earned their awards with hard work and discipline in the preparation phase but also during the competition days (make-up as early as 5 a.m. and competition rounds until 9 p.m.).

We are especially happy for Sebastian Hofbauer for his recognition as “Future Talent“, a special award from the judges.

Worth mentioning is also that Sophie Rath won her National Titles in Jazz and Contemporary both with more than 100 points and the highest score in these categories.

The Broadway Connection confirmed its reputation as the best tap education Austria’s: Out of 11 tap numbers, 7 became National Champion and 3 were runner-ups.

KrisTina Decker and her team thanks again all who contributed to this sensational result, according the BC slogan:

Don’t Dream It.
Be It.

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.
