Broadway Connection Competition Team, Vienna Dance Open 2017
While their team colleagues in Bratislava still have another competition day ahead, the decisions at the Vienna Dance Open 2017 in Schwechat were taken.
Our small but fine team, participating for the first time, won 2 Gold and 3 Silver Medals.
Don’t Dream It.
Be It.

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.

The competition season 2015 ends with another great result! 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.
We thank the organisers for the successful competition, especially for the relaxed athmosphere. A beautiful conclusion for our dancers after the stressful and cumbersome ASDU championships.
KrisTina and her team congratulate the dancers and thank for the discipline which was necessary to achieve the most successful competition season in the history of the Broadway Connection. 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.
Here a short video from the competition that was prepared by the organisers:

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
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.

Before the Easter Holidays the students of the Kids & Youth Academy together with the students of the Broadway Academy of Musical Theatre demonstrated their skills at the Austrian Dance Cup in Bad Ischl.
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!
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.

Due to scheduling difficulties last year we only participated with a very small team at the Austrian Open of the ASDU; in 2013 we were able again to participate in “full force” at the Austrian Open in Wels.
Kudos to the team of dance school Hippmann aka. Tanzwerk to a nearly perfect organisation of the event. Only the sound technic during the “Song & Dance” category was reason for critique. Our admiration goes to all the singers who did there best besides the failing sound system.
Future Talent Sophie Rath
Towards the board of ASDU we would like to suggest, to rethink the format of an early starting and late finishing 4-days dance event, that brings the participants to their physical and psychological limits.
We thank our supporters, teachers and parents who helped to get our young dancers ready in time and avoid any accidents due to tireness. Special thanks goes to: KrisTina Decker, Petra Böhm, Brigitte and Ernst Dillinger, Barbara Rath, Petra Birkner, Manfred Futschik, Ralph Galvan, Carina Hammer, Birgit Huebener, Edith Jochum, Barbara Kiss, Martina Lobenhofer, Julius Salamon, Katja Seper, Brigitte Szkokan, Sheila Vince and Nina Weinhappl. A big thank you also to all Seniors/Elite Dancers who helped with make-up and hairs.
Special thanks obviously also to our dancers, who managed against increasing competition to return with 9 National Championship Titles, 11 Runner-Ups and 12 Third Places.
We congratulate all dancers to their great achievement and Sophie Rath to the special award as “Best Female Future Talent“.
Don’t Dream It.
Be It.
