Sensational Result at the Austrian Open 2015 in Klagenfurt

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.

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.
