Tysons, Virginia

We covered another gathering of dancers for the Arthur Murray 2015 Spring Freestyles last week at the McLean Hilton in Tysons. With all of the students in one ballroom throughout the entire weekend, the crowd was LOUD! They were enthusiastically supportive of their dance friends as they danced through heats Friday afternoon to Saturday evening.

The craziest part of the event made for the best photos. That was the hotly contested Potomac Cup Team Match. In these heats, students from different schools will dance with students from other schools at their same level. Most will have never danced with each other before. But because of the core syllabus that is taught at all Arthur Murray studios, they can dance their figures together. The competition is between the schools from Virginia – Alexandria, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, and Virginia Beach – against the Maryland studios of Chevy Chase, Columbia, Gaithersburg, Silver Spring.

There was a theme to the teams as well. Virginia came in their best cowboy Western gear, while Maryland dressed as fairy tale characters. This is a big departure from the ballroom gowns and suits all of the other heats! In the end, Virginia was judged to take the Potomac Cup this time!

During dinner on Saturday, I was asked by some of the studios to get some group photos. It is always nice to see their happy faces after having all of their hard work pay off. Everyone is much more relaxed, and ready to enjoy some social dancing and professional shows!
