In March 2013 the Broadway Connection participated the first time at the Ballet Competition in Villach and could celebrate already 5 First, 9 Second and 8 Third places. 8 of our dances qualified right away for the World Championships in Brighton, England.

We congratulate all dancers to this exceptional achievement! This was a great rehearsal for the upcoming ASDU Austrian Open 2013.

We thank especially Gitti Paller for the organisation, Barbara Rath and Brigitta Zahour for the sewing work, Manfred and Martina Lobenhofer for the refreshments and all the parents and students that helped for the frictionless process (Carina, Simon, Anna J., Nina, Katja, Alena, Tania, Sheila, Jutta, Ernst, Philipp). Obviously our thanks goes also to our great faculty and choreographer team KrisTina Decker, Petra Böhm, Wei-Ken Jeffrey Liao, Miriam Lechlech, Magdalena Bönisch and Ralph-Leonel Galvan for the wonderful creations.

Don’t Dream It.
Be It.

Niki, Sophie & Anna Rath, Austrian Open 2012 (Photo: Philipp Rath)

Due to scheduling difficulties the Broadway Connection could only send a small but powerful team of 4 students to the ASDU Austrian Open 2012 in Klagenfurt. The result of our dancers is impressive:

Sophie Rath won the 1st place and National Champion against 14 competitors in the category Contemporary. She confirmed her strength with three Runner-Ups in the categories Jazz, Tap and Musical.

Her brother Niki won together with Meta Schumy the 1st place and National Championship Title in the category Contemporary. Meta won also the 1st place and National Champion in the category Song & Dance. Anna Rath came in second in the category Musical and fourth in Jazz. Again congratulations to such a great result!

A big thank to all parents and supporters who helped our students with the organisation, the hair, the make-up and the costume changes.

Not only our students were successful, some of our teachers started with their own dance crew. We would like to congratulate our Academy students and Broadway Connection teachers Miriam Lechlech and Ralph Galvin and our teacher Sascha Gruber together with their Dance Crew to a Diamond award in the category Open.

Don’t Dream It.
Be It.

From March 26-29, 2009 the ASDU Austrian Open 2009 in Musical and Showdance in Matrei/Osttirol took place. Our Competition Team returned with the best result in the history of the Broadway Connection!

In a highly competative competition, our dances won 19 National Championship Titles, 10 Runner-Ups and 2 Third Places.

The Tap solo of Corvin Frantsits with 107 points only slightly missed the diamond recognition. His dance had also the highest points amongst the classical categories, only few production numbers received more points.

We thank all the dancers for their commitment in the preparation phase and during the competition. Our choreographers earn thanks for their beautiful dances. Thanks goes also to those parents that actively help that the competitions run so smoothly.

Don’t Dream It.
Be It.

Austrian Open 2007

Repeated Success at the Austrian Open 2007 in Klagenfurt

The Austrian Open 2007 were the so far biggest Musical & Showdance Championships in Austria. Around 1,400 participants from 38 dance schools and from all states came on the weekend from March 25 – 27, 2007 to Klagenfurt to compete for the National Championship Titles.

The students of the Broadway Connection celebrated again a sensational success: 8 Gold, 9 Silver, 5 Bronze, amongst them 6 National Titles and 6 Runner-Ups were awarded to our Kids and Youth!

This is the exceptional result of the Viennese Dance Studio Broadway Connection at the Austrian Open 2007 for Musical and Showdance.

The gold/silver result of the Broadway Connection confirms KrisTina Decker’s approach on the dance education for youth: Professionals share their knowledge, custom-made training for the students in manageable class sizes. Goal of the school is to offer – in addition to a broad range of dance styles – acting, singing and acrobatic. With that “Vienna’s First Show School” provides a solid foundation for a professional stage career. The best dances of the Austrian Open are qualified for the “EUROPEAN OPEN“. They will take place from May 2 -6, 2007 in Croatia.

The European Open are the qualification for the “US OPEN” in America, where the Broadway Connection won 4 Gold medals last year.

Don’t Dream It.
Be It.
