Professional Shows

To complete the event, some of the judges from the event danced some shows for us! Arianna Esposito and Gianni Caliandro showed some extraordinary smooth dancing. Quickly covering the entire floor, they showed off speed and technicality in their dancing.

In contrast, Sheena Daminar and Jungie Zamora danced in the Rhythm style for their performances. Although they have judged and performed at this event in previous years, they brought new elements to their dancing. Of course the effortless looking lifts grab the most attention. Moreover the emotion that they convey all throughout their movements set the tone to their music. On one hand, they have an athletic look to their dancing. However, they pair it very well with their musicality. Great shows all around!

Photos from last weekend’s 2016 That’s Dancing Winter Showcase are released at TimeLine Media! Although we had a busy weekend of events, this was a fun way to finish up. To be sure, we have been at this venue before. We have even photographed this event here before. However, the new routines that Carlos and Jackie prepared always keeps the photos fresh. Here is the link at the proofing site:

Student Routines

Once you arrive for the winter showcase, Marielle really sets the scene nicely for fun night. Plated dinner for the audience, and a showcase-ready dance floor for the performances. Different from last year, they had a beautiful blue backdrop setup. It provided a nice setting for the colorful dresses. Also, it was a nice staging area for performers to get on and off the stage. With attention to the photos, these are the closest to studio images I have made!

2016 Gaithersburg Tea Dance

Arthur Murray Gaithersburg, MD

Last weekend, the Arthur Murray studio in Gaithersburg, Maryland invited me to their studio. The staff hosted a holiday tea dance on Saturday afternoon. This was the first time I had visited their location! Even though I have been photographing them for years at the large events, I have not been inside previously.

2016 Gaithersburg Tea Dance

Participation is one of the strengths of this studio. As soon as dancing starts at Freestyles, it will not be long until you hear, “Go Gaithersburg!” in the ballroom. Of course, the same was true here. During the afternoon, there were social dances, and some performances put on by their staff.

Afterwards, I got some group photos of everyone there. This was a challenge with all the people that attended the dance! Seeing that there were so many people attending on a weekend during a busy time, it was heart-warming to see. Without a doubt, they create a community around their passion for dance. They support dancers of every level, and they are genuine in wanting everyone to progress and succeed.

After the guests left, I made some group photos of the staff. Of course, these would be great for holiday cards from the studio. I really enjoyed the short time I had with them. They were in the holiday spirit, and very happy with the turn out for their tea dance! In any case, I don’t think it would be hard to get great photos of this group. They play off against each other well! Since they work together every day, they know how to get good expressions out of their coworkers. Congratulations, on a great 2016 Gaithersburg! I look forward to more images in 2017.
