USA Dance dais at the Mid-Atlantic Championships
USA Dance dais at the Mid-Atlantic Championships

We have started the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships! The lights are setup and also the music sounds great as usual by Peter Collins. It is going to be a great weekend for dancing.

Come check it out!

UPDATE – At this time, the photos are now ready to view from the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships! In addition to the photos from the dance floor, there are some photos of the judges, and organizers. Given that they were helpful to us over the weekend, it would have been impossible without them. With this in mind, I made sure to get some photos of them behind the scenes, or off the floor.

In summary, it takes a lot of work by a lot of dedicated people to pull off a competition of this size. However, they did it again this year. This goes for the dancers as well as the organizers. Without the enthusiastic participation from dancers, this competition would not be as notable. For the most part, I believe that they are ready for Nationals!

If you go to the proofing site and have any trouble finding your images, please let me know. Since there are so many folders, it can be a difficult task. I don’t want anyone to be too frustrated, so please reach out to me. Thank you!

Marsha Bonet Dance showcase

Marsha has invited me out to shoot her and her students as they present some dance showcase routines that they have put together. There is a great diversity in the dances and the dancers, and we always make some great photos! There is a combination of dances from Flamenco, to ballet, Freestyle, and belly dancing.

Being that this is not the first event that I have covered for her, I have some solid expectations on what to expect. Firstly, she has a variety of dance styles that her students study. Not only does this show her skills as a teacher, but it allows the students to show off more of their personalities. They have the flexibility to study a style that fits their interest.

Next, Marsha is herself a terrific showman! Whereas she is a talented dancer, having the sensibility of presenting to an audience is another aspect to her art that sets her apart. It is always a great show!

American Star Ball

Today I am posting more ballroom dance photos from the American Star Ball held in Atlantic City, NJ. This year’s event will be May 17 – 19, 2013 at the Golden Nugget. We are planning to be there again this year!

Additionally, to looking to see some awesome dancing, we are excited to be working with the organizers. Since we have been photographing these competitions for a while, we have interacted a few times with Amanda and Ilya Reyzin. When they attend competitions, they are always popular personalities.

Even though they are champions of the highest level, they impress their students with their passion for dance. In addition, they are popular judges due to their reputation and artistic prowess on the floor. Now, they are the organizers of this competition. When this was announced last year, they asked if we were interested in continuing the partnership as photography vendors. Of course, we were humbled by the request. Being that they are recent competitors, and plugged into the community, I am sure they have a lot of ideas for updating the competition. We look forward to seeing the updates. Let us know if you plan to be there too!
