Photos from the 2019 DC Dance Challenge are ready to view! After editing and sorting the photos, we have posted them by the gentlemen’s number. There are over 3000 photos posted. If I made any mistakes in filing dancers, please let me know! To see all the photos, here is the link:
Since we were coming back to the Westin in Alexandria, we had a similar setup to last year. Jennifer Bonini setup the ballroom very nicely again this year! Along with the warm stadium lighting that was brought in, the ballroom had a soft glow for the event. For this reason, we had an easy setup for photos. Comparatively to other ballrooms, their tall ceilings meant the lights were as high as I could get them!
The photos from last weekend’s 2019 Fall Freestyles have been released! It has not been long since the Summer Showcase, but we still made plenty of new photos. As a matter of fact, we posted a record number of photos – over 11,400! Then we sorted and uploaded them here:
Although there were close to 500 heats over the weekend, there was a nice variety of events danced. Firstly, Friday had the smooth heats for most of the afternoon. Following those heats, they had some variety dances and the club dance events. To clarify these were dances that are not traditionally added to every program. West Coast Swing, Bachata, Salsa, and Hustle were in the variety categories. Following these heats, some dancers may be adding some dances to their programs!
On Saturday afternoon, the growing popularity of Arthur’s Kids brought young ones out to the dance floor. When the kids went out on the floor everyone admired their poise! Since most people in the ballroom had a turn out there, they know how much nerve it takes to get out there. For this reason, they were encouraging to the kids that likewise went out there. Finally the pro-am part of the event ended with rhythm heats. Such a busy weekend!
The photos are expiring from the 2019 FADS Spring Fling. Since we have some new events coming in the fall, these will be moved to the archive. While they are still available, they can be accessed here:
Thank you to everyone that purchased photos or videos! Indeed the support for our photography is paramount for us to continue doing this. If you have prepaid for your images please contact your studio. Following delivery, they will have all of the photos and videos that we have of your dancing.
To finish the Spring Fling, the professionals at the studios performed a series of showcases for the crowd. Overall, this was an awesome display of their talents! In the event that you were not familiar dance, or you were looking to expand your style, this was for you. Not only were there dances that incorporated syllabus figures, but the professionals could freestyle depending on the music.
Finally I would like to thank Brianna one more time for the initiation! We really enjoyed working with you and the participating studios. We look forward to your next event!
