The Austrian Open 2006 was the so far largest Musical and Showdance Championship in Austria. Around 1,300 participants from all states came to Oberpullendorf (Burgenland) on the weekend of March 24-26, 2006 to compete for the National Championship Titles.

The students of the Broadway Connection celebrated another sensational success: 5 Gold, 9 Silver, 6 Bronze and 2 Special Jury Awards were won by our kids & youth!

In addition, the Broadway Connection director and choreographer KrisTina Decker received the second time in a row (a first in the competition history) the special award as “Best Choreographer“! The judges loved the number “The Mask – How It Began” so much, that she also received the special award for the Highest Points in the Amateur Class!

This is the exceptional result of the Viennese Dance Studio Broadway Connection at the Austrian Open 2006 for Musical and Showdance.

I am happy about our success“, says KrisTina Decker. “One sees that all the sweat and hard training was worth it! I am really proud for my students!

The medal score of the Broadway Connection confirms KrisTina Decker’s approach at the dance education for youth: Professionals share their knowledge, custom-made training for the students and manageable class size. 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 qualified for the “EUROPEAN OPEN”. They will be held in Baden bei Wien from April 27-30, 2006. The European Open are the qualifyer for the “US OPEN” in America. The Broadway Connection won a couple of Gold medals last year.

Be It.

Best New Talent 2005 Michaela Pircher

And the Broadway Connection superceeded all expectations! Our students won 3 National Championship Titles and 7 Runner-Ups. Our 15-year old Michaela Pircher received a lot of attention. The judges liked her performances so much that they selcted her for the Best New Talent Award.

“I am very proud of the Broadway Connection team. While the Broadway Connection only exists for a bit more than a year, we won many prices at this great competition”, celebrates KrisTina Decker, the founder and director of the Broadway Connection. KrisTina herself received the Special Award for Best Choreography for her dance HANDS OFF.

The gold/silver result of the Broadway Connection confirms KrisTina Decker’s approach at the dance education for youth: Professionals share their knowledge, custom-made training for the students and manageable class size. 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 qualify for the “EUROPEAN OPEN”, which is the qualifyer for the “US OPEN” in America. The Broadway Connection already won a silver medal at the US Open last year. Therefore, for this year’s US Open the expectations are high.
