BROADWAY BUZZ

---

We had perfect weather for our Annual BOTB Student/Parent Appreciation Day at Knoebels! We find such joy in providing a day of fun for our dance families old and new every year! Just a little THANK YOU for choosing Broadway for your child’s dance education! 

Miss Rachel welcomed Broadway's newest student to the dance family, and into the world, Miss Thea!

At Nationals,  our youngest company team “APPLAUSE” took home the biggest award of the week for their division of ALL AGES! 

Our studio ensemble piece which includes every member big and small of our program “WEPA” took 4th OVERALL out of the entire best of the best! The most amazing week/day/nationals sending off our beloved senior Miss Katherine!!! 

We held our 6th Annual Spring Recital "Don't Touch That Dial!" taking our audience back in time through television's biggest hits! 2 shows, 180 students, so much love, smiles and special moments! 

Our Company Ensemble competed in 2 regionals of their season bringing home numerous honors and awards, including a convention scholarship to ALL BOTB company dancers program wide for the iconic "WEPA" routine pictured above.

Made he best out of a rainy day with the BEST students and families! Pittston City St. Patrick's Parade As always a pleasure, RAIN OR SHINE! 

Our  dancers did arguably their most important performance of 2023...for an audience of nursing home residents in mid-December. The pure joy and youthful excitement in the residents' faces watching our girls, our kiddos big and small getting to experience first-hand what the holiday season should ALWAYS be about - kindness, doing for others, acts big and small to make even strangers smile. "Being good for goodness sake." 

BOTB Dance Company attended our 1st EVER NATIONALS competition!  Our first-ever BOTB senior, Kennedy + Ovation had the highest scoring small group number and solos out of the entire age 13-15 division, deeming them NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! Our company ensemble was called BACK to be part of the rising star challenge, getting to perform their special dance one last time altogether again. OMG YOU GUYS placed 3rd in this challenge against 30 routines!!!

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!

On March 5th, we quite literally learned that life is not about waiting for the storm to pass - it’s about dancing in the rain at the Annual Pittston City St. Patrick's Day!

On December 17th, BOTB showcased  our annual holiday show “COOL YULE." 2 separate productions in 1 day & they were a VISION! From our BOTB family to yours, happy holidays and here’s to dancing in 2023 :)

Broadway was voted BEST DANCE STUDIO in 2022 and we could not be more grateful to kick off the beginning of our 5th year with such amazing news! Miss Rachel & all Pittston City female small business owners were featured in an article & photographed with the mayor!

BOTB Dance Company went out with a BANG for our 2022 competition season! Special Awards including: "Fast Feet Award, "Broadway Bound," "Hollywood Studio" and our oldest dancers won BIG SHOW SPIN OFF!

BOTB Dance Company rocked the dance competition stage after a long hiatus bringing home high platinum scores, overall and special judge awards including: "Classic & Timeless," "Brought the Sunshine," "Beautiful Hearts," "Elite Entertainment Award," and "Elite Costume Award." Ready for our next one in June!

Both our recreational and company dancers of all ages walked and dance the parade route of our hometown, Pittston City's Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade! We had a blast making an appearance for hundreds of community members! 

We hosted our 4th annual holiday show "Adventure to the North Pole" and it was a magical day celebrating the hard work of our dancers and staff from the fall season. We are still on cloud 9 from the overwhelmingly positive feedback from our families, not to mention a SOLD OUT SHOW!

Broadway on the Boulevard staff and families participated in this year's Greater Pittston Santa Squad and donated a variety of toys to children of all ages in need! This is what the holiday season is about!

We moved to a new home - 

BIGGER, BETTER & ON THE BOULEVARD! 

As Broadway on the Boulevard keeps growing, we relocated to a brand-new space as of June 1st, 2021! Here's to our new journey - creating a modern, artistic and creative atmosphere as we continue to cultivate our vision and spread our passion for the art of dance.

At the end of last month, BOTB Company were able to (safely) travel and compete at our first dance competition in over a year!!! We are so proud, excited and gratified with the growth and progress of each student pictured above. All BOTB routines scored platinums and diamond within the top 3 overalls, and special awards that included:

“Teamwork Makes the Dream Work”
“Ultimate Precision”
“Showmanship”
The “Rising Star Award” for the entire division!

FIRST PLACE!!! We are feeling so inspired, amazed, and eternally grateful for being awarded this honor. This past year has been far from easy, but this proves that we are doing something RIGHT and our hard work each day does not go unnoticed!
