BROADWAY BUZZ

---

Broadway on the Boulevard celebrated 5 amazing years of commitment to dance excellence with our annual spring recital - 80s themed! Our families' trust, loyalty and dedication to BOTB was evidently paid off on stage as our dancers shined BRIGHT, increasing their individual ability, talent, performance quality and overall sense of self, EACH and EVERY SEASON! Bring on year #6!

BOTB Dance Company had beautiful weather for our annual performance at the West Pittston Cherry Blossom Festival!

We did it again!!! BOTB was voted BEST DANCE STUDIO OF 2023 in Luzerne County! THANK YOU to our amazing staff, our students, families and biggest fans of support!

In mid-March, BOTB Dance Company competed in Lancaster PA at the first regional competition of the season taking home many special judges awards, platinums and overalls!

We at BOTB finally got to host our COVID-friendly taping of “Let Your Heart Be Light” in late January! Not our usual holiday show which made this process THAT much more rewarding, magical, creative and humbling.  

We choose the theme of our show “Let Your Heart Be Light” to serve a reminder to all of us in this overwhelmingly crazy year and time, no matter what has or will continue to happen, BOTB will always do our best to spread joy, love and light to our students and families, and we are so proud to have commemorated a great fall season with this upbeat show and message! The show must SAFELY go on!

At Broadway, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our dancers and families. When the pandemic struck in March of this year, we worked tirelessly to smoothly transition our curriculum online for our dancers to continue their education in the comfort of their own homes. Once Luzerne County hit green, we returned to in-studio lessons with new safety precautions and measures, and were able to have a virtual recital where we taped the dancers in their classes and packaged it altogether for our families to document the end of our very successful second year in business. "We can't direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails."

In the beginning of February, our junior, petite and mini levels from BOTB Dance Company took home multiple PLATINUM awards placing in the TOP overalls for their individual divisions in EVERY group routine at Breakout Dance Competition in Somerset, NJ! Our juniors won a special judge's award titled "Perfectly Precise" for their new musical theater number, our petites won a special studio award titled "Outstanding Showmanship" for their new hip hop routine, and our minis won a massive trophy (as tall as them!!!) winning the "Breakout" Tap Award for having the highest scoring routine of ages 12 and under in their division!  

 We are not only training children how to dance, but also how to give back, and to always be open, kind and grateful 🎁 The week after our Holiday show, we took a few of our pieces to a local nursing home in Wyoming and our hearts were never so full. The smiles and singing of the residents was the best gift we could have ever received! THIS is what the holiday season is all about...this is what BOTB is all about! 

In September, Broadway on the Boulevard was voted Best Dance Studio of 2019 for the Greater Pittston Area! We work day-in and day-out to provide our students with a solid dance education built upon appreciation for both the arts and the community. To only have one year in business under our belts and receive an honor like this is so humbling!
