2015 DC Dance Challenge photos Released

Downtown DC Dance Competition

The 2015 DC Dance Challenge photos released at the TimeLine Media proofing site! Last weekend, we enjoyed seeing some local dance friends at they competed at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. Once in a while you get the opportunity to photograph in some grand spaces. Without a doubt the Ronald Reagan building was one of them! Luckily, we had a nice setup for our lighting, and a large space to freely move around to get nice images of the dancers.

Certainly being supportive was the top priority for the dancers attending this event. We have been covering this event for Jennifer Bonini for a few years now, and she keeps the friend vibes going by being such a great host. Meanwhile the dancers really give it their best when they are out on the floor whether their heats are contested or not.

As far as the photos at the website, I have tried to sort them based on the number worn by the gentlemen during competition heats. If there are any that have been misfiled, please let me know!

It was another hotly contested Potomac Cup team match on Saturday afternoon. This time the schools from Virginia triumphed over the excellent dancers from Maryland to claim the cup for this event. Although this is a friendly competition, the winning team really gets a boost taking home the trophy until next time.

During dinner breaks, I made some group photos as people came on and off the social dance floor. Undeniably, my first shot was an accident! I had a longer exposure time dialed into the camera.

Following this accident, I continued experimenting with the settings. Of course finding willing volunteers is not difficult at a ballroom dance event.

We posted over 10,000 photos! Please pass along the link to your studio mates so they can see themselves. Thanks to the dancers and the staff of the DC Area studios – they always support us with their purchases, and we are so thankful!
