Tysons Corner Center

Last February I covered the 2016 lunar new year celebration at Tysons Corner Center. On this occasion, they had the festivities in the Concourse. Being that it is adjacent to the Plaza, there was a lot of traffic during the event! Colorful decorations adorned the tables leading out to the Plaza.

2016 Lunar New Year – Monkey

Because of the loud drumming, the dancing dragons brings a lot of attention to the celebration. Simultaneously the dancers move frantically throughout the crowd. Surely this is an interactive show! For this reason, reactions are as important as the movement.

As the crowds grew larger, martial artists performed a show. Some where the same performers from last year. They progress and make their presentation faster and sharper! Anyone that came by will remember the start of the year of the Monkey.

Similarly to the student showcase routines, the staff incorporated the ‘Fire and Ice’ theme of the evening. Indeed, just looking at the photos of the professionals, we can see the energy from their feet all the way through the tips of their fingers! In addition to the solid dance foundation, these flourishes help to complete the dance forms. With attention to these details, the dancers in the audience had something to bring to their next lesson.

Although I know the staff and students are hard at work for their summer routines, thanks for coming to take a look back. Undoubtedly there are new figures, patterns, and choreography being practiced. Likewise I’m ready for the next showcase!

DC Area Arthur Murray Studios

Last weekend’s 2016 Spring Freestyles photos are now ready to view! Another Arthur Murray DC event from our home studios. After the event, I edited and tried to sort these by studio. In the event I made some mistakes, please let me know. Here is the link to the photos:

The Hilton McLean in Tysons, VA was the venue for this event. Since they have settled in on this location for the last couple of year, setup was easier for us. Following our setup from the last time, our photography lighting setup still worked for the first Arthur Murray event of the year.

Thank you to all of the Arthur Murray dancers and staff. Surely this was not the normal setup for a Freestyles event all being on one day. In this situation, the floor seemed more crowded, and the schedule compressed. However, everyone made the best of it, and I was pleased with the photos!
