The photos from last Saturday’s 2018 That’s Dancing Summer Showcase are ready to view! Although it has been a couple of years since I have been to their studio, things are going well. On this occasion there were 10 student showcases presented in the first two acts. To see all the photos, click here:

Marielle invited me back to cover their studio event, and some new developments for That’s Dancing. Because of a leak that damaged their floor earlier in the year, they have a new dance floor! Undeniably having a nice surface for dancing is essential for a studio. Now their space is ready for events as well practice.

If the costumes and make up look a bit strange, it is important to realize the Showcase theme. Superheroes tied all the dance numbers together obviously in the dress, but also in the music. Modern movie soundtracks consequently give inspiration through music tracks perfect for dancing!

Now that we have covered events since then, I really like these from the Fantasy Ball. Garry Gekhman elevated the lighting in the ballroom to emphasize the dancefloor. When adding my flashes, the background was so colorful for the dancers.

Professional Show

After the awards were given out, Inga Demetryan and Vard Margaryan danced a professional show. In summary, these two were really enjoyable to photograph! Seeing that Garry is also a coach to professionals, it would make sense that he would invite an amazing couple to dance the finale.

When we were photographing the show, Bryony let me know a fun fact. Vard was a fan of TimeLine Media from a long time ago! Following a professional competition, he wanted to purchase a photo from the slideshow of his dancing. Of course we accommodated him, and he used the image for a few years afterwards.

Staff Shows

After dancing most of the student routines, Carlos danced most of Act 3. How he remembers all of the technical intricacies of these varied numbers is a testament to his talent! At least the emcee does try to give him a break in between some routines.

With this in mind, the staff show displayed the talents of all of the professionals. Following the Showcase, I can see students gathering ideas for their future lessons. Since it is only a few months until the Summer Showcase, they will be working on their next routines soon! In addition working on routines is helpful for competition loops.
