Great Result at the Austrian Open 2013 in Wels

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.

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.

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 1^st 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 1^st place and National Championship Title in the category Contemporary. Meta won also the 1^st 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.
