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.

Tysons Corner Center

As can be seen from the nearby roads, the Tysons Corner Center Plaza is decorated for the holidays! Kris Allen performed at the 2016 Christmas Tree Lighting event. Even if the weather was warmer than usual, it did not dampen the holiday spirits. In case you were not convinced, the artificial snow machine was turned on to add some wintry sparkle!

On this occasion, American Idol winner Kris Allen played selection of holiday music. Some were familiar songs, however, he has a lot of original songs in his set as well. Santa and personalities from 97.1 WASH FM also added to the show. Seeing that 97.1 has been playing all-Christmas music for a few weeks now, it was an added benefit to see an artist singing live.

After that, Kris walked down to the Santa HQ set. Along with the big guy, they had a short meet and greet with fans. Having the chance to meet an American Idol and to get a photo with Santa was a nice combination right before Christmas. Take some time to see the beautifully lit tree out on the Plaza before the new year! The changing colors keep it looking fresh!
