Student Showcases

Since we have two rooms to cover for the showcase routines, I needed help to cover. with this in mind, I only photographed the Smooth room myself. Seeing that we had some excellent assistants in the Rhythm room, I could concentrate on the large Smooth ballroom.

While photographing in this room, I wonder which is more challenging. In the rhythm room, the audience is much closer, and the floor smaller. However, the larger room has more floor to cover even though there is more distance to the edges. This highlights a contrast in dancing styles. Do you have a style that you prefer – let me know!

Professional Competition

To conclude the event, the professionals hit the dance floor together. On this occasion there were five heats of one dance competitions. As I have posted before these are not my favorite going into the shoot. However, I always seems to find favorites as I edit them. To be sure, I do not get as many keepers from the competition floor. Comparatively, ending with professional shows results in more keepers for the photographer. On the other hand, the crowd really ramps up the energy cheering on their teachers. Maybe the photos aren’t the more important thing? 🙂

Finally, Thanks to Marielle and Carlos for inviting me to their studio! Seeing that there was very little room to move around, it shows their growing popularity. Not only do they have regular students progressing through their program, but they have new students getting out there. Unquestionably it is more difficult to dance in front of friends than complete strangers. This is in contrast to competitions where the crowd is generally more unfamiliar. So this is a great practice for their Baltimore Dancesport Challenge event that they also organize. For this reason, they will be making a studio that will compete for top prizes in the near future!
