Tysons, Virginia
These are photos from the Professional Shows at the end of the Spring Freestyles. The local DC Area Arthur Murray studios put on amazing local events. On this occasion, the surrounding studios get together and give students a great chance to show off their newest skills, and their fanciest costumes! This one was held at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner. Their main ballroom has been my personal proving ground for ballroom dance photography. Additionally it has  provided TimeLine Media with some of its best photos.
Arthur Murray Pro Shows
Featured in these photos are teachers from the Silver Spring, Tysons Corner, Alexandria, and Gaithersburg studios. These are always the capstone to the Freestyles event. After all the students have danced, competed, and received their awards, they get a chance to see demonstrations of skill by their instructors. The entire floor is for them, the entire room focuses on the floor with everyone pushing their chairs right to the edge, and I place myself in what I hope is the best spot to capture the action! It is a source of pride for each studio to see them dance, and they give us amateurs something to aspire to for the next event.
This is one of my favorite ballroom dance photos turned to black and white.
