Professional Showcase

Today is the last day to view photos from the 2019 Asheville Dance Classic! As the last posting from this event, I am showing some of my favorite photos from the Professional show. To demonstrate their skill, Gabriela Sevillano and Dmitry Solomakha performed 4 dances that had the entire room on their feet after each one!

This was another fun challenge for me to photograph. These two were amazingly quick in their direction changes, and sharp in their lines. Whenever her long hair would flail in the air, I let the shutter fly to try to catch it mid flight!

Asheville, NC

We really enjoyed our trip down to Asheville. Since both of us were able to make it this year, we had time to go around and see the downtown area, one of the arboretums, and some of the nice restaurants. In any case, this is a place we would like to explore more. Moreover we texted family to say that we should plan a trip down here so we can see even more. Thanks again for visiting the site to see the photos, and we hope to see you at the next Asheville Dance Classic this fall!

Thank you to Meghan and Jake Lavender of Wave Dance Studio for having us cover their event for the second consecutive year. By comparison this year was much better for me. In short, due to having help with me! My wife made the trek with me to Asheville this time, and everything was just so much easier when I have someone managing me.

The Asheville Crowne Plaza was the venue again this year. Comparatively, this is a convenient space for vendors to load in all the gear for the weekend. With a ballroom on the street level with a door that open right to the loading area, the transport distance is very low.

With this being our second time here, it was much faster to setup the lighting and the booth once we had everything inside. Given that Jake, and Meghan were so helpful to us, we settled in nicely to get some photos of all the dancing. They do a great job of transforming the ballroom into a beautiful evening under the stars. It helps to set a consistent look with a dark theme to have the dancers be out front!

Overall it was a spooky night for the Fall Fling! The spirit of Halloween was all over the inside and outside of the ballroom. Still that skeleton that greeted guests at the ballroom entrance haunts me!

2019 FADS Fall Fling – Professional Shows

To cap the event, the professionals that danced with students all day put on a show. Partnering with other professionals allows them to demonstrate a higher level for the students in attendance. Giving the dance fans something to shoot for in their dancing is a great way to end this event. I know everyone will be back at the studio to start working for the next one. We hope to see you there!
