Fall Showcase Editing

Tysons, Virginia

My feet, and back are sore, and I didn’t even dance one heat yesterday! It was a long day at the Arthur Murray Fall Showcase, but we did make lots of photos of all the routines and the All-Around competition. The dancers are starting to recover, and I have started editing the photos so that we can share them with you this weekend. We really enjoyed catching up with dancers from other studios! We appreciate all the nice feedback we received from those of you that ordered pictures and digital downloads from us. It is really nice to hear how you are displaying your photos, and showing them off to your friends.

Again we were treated to some awesome professional shows to end the evening. I have not even looked at the photos from last night, but I thought I would share some from the Fall Freestyles that have not been posted on the blog yet. This was a Cha Cha by Brandon and Carolina from Arthur Murray – Columbia.

These two put on some of the most entertaining shows! They really engage with the audience with their technical and sharp lines. Overall, it makes editing their photos an enjoyable job! Last night, they each had different partners for their professional shows which I am sure will be featured in the blog as soon as I can get them finished.

Stay tuned here and on the TimeLine Media Facebook page for updates on when all the photos will be done and ready on the proofing site. We will be taking Thursday off for eating and football, but I still plan to have them done by Saturday. Thank you!

Arthur Murray Fall Showcase Today!

All day today we will be at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner, VA for the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Showcase event. It will be a great day of ballroom dancing! This is the completion of months of hard work for the students and teachers in the area studios, and I am sure they are ready to show off for their friends and studio mates. Along with the new event cards that we had printed to hand out today, we also have two new large posters to show off at the booth. One has images from the beautiful Foxtrot show by the Arthur Murray – Ashburn, VA studio.

As someone once said during an event, for some, ballroom dancing is all about the Foxtrot. It is routines like this which really makes that point! It is a credit to the dancers when the movement looks natural – like walking down the street. When in actuality it is very challenging to do! It is also a challenge to make it look different from the other smooth dances – the swaying of the Waltz, or the sharp staccato of the Tango.

We are looking forward to another great set of professional shows to finish the evening tonight. We will post more highlights from them here on the blog as the photos are completed. To see all the photos from the Fall Showcase, they will be posted at the proofing website approximately a week after the event. Stay tuned here on the blog for daily updates, or “Like” our Facebook page for updates on your wall.

JFK

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States. The media has been covering the milestone in many programs and blogs over the last month. Many have been taken with reviewing, or reliving that time. Not being a part of my recollection, I only have these to inform my perspective of that historical time. The reason his presidency had such an impact on the country has much to do with how the public was able to follow JFK.

The Newseum in Washington, DC has a current exhibition specifically showing the reporting of events at that time. Moreover they have the technology that allowed the reporting. There are also exhibits that showcase the public life of JFK in pictures and and film. His rise in the national consciousness grew in particular with the medium of television. Additionally his use of the media in photo and film contributes to his legacy. It undoubtedly ushered in a game-changing era in how we consume news. Also it increased the speed with which we receive our news. His whole public and what he wanted of his private life has been preserved. They can be relived in a fidelity that is much better than had been available to a president.

Seeing the photos of his home life in Massachusetts initially had the most impact. Much like today’s social media, authentic images of a personality got traction immediately. Additionally seeing them in the White House, and traveling the country brought the public in. They showed a man transitioning from candidate, to senator, to President and how this made changes to his family. It was a shortened presidency, and one that continues to captivate 50 years after it ended.
