Arthur Murray

For Valentine’s Day, the Arthur Murray in Tysons held a 2015 Cupid Competition at their studio. Not all of the competitions that we cover are large, multi-studio, regional spanning events. Some are local studio events that give studios an opportunity to give the taste of these kinds of events in their own venue.

Carlos Hernandez, the manager of the Tysons location, had us come out to cover the event. With help from some photographer friends, we got both stills and video of the competition. They had Leonard Theiss come to judge the dancers so they could have some feedback on their dancing to review with their teachers later.

The staff at the Tysons studio was sure to make everyone feel welcome. They had a few more people in the studio than their regular week nights, so there was a nice energy there for the dancers. I enjoyed making photos of the students dancing with their instructors. I also enjoyed getting photos of the staff performing a professional show to end the evening. It was a nice progress check for dancers in the studio, and it gave them a chance to see what is possible for their dancing by watching their studio mates show off what they have been working on. I am sure that this experience will spur more people to prepare for and dance at their next Freestyles or Showcase event.
