Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles Uploading | Dancesport Photographer

It has been a busy week with lots of photos to process, but we are in the home stretch! All of the photo editing from the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles has been completed, and the files are now uploading to the website. There are close to 6500 photos from last weekend, so it will likely take until later this afternoon/evening until the photos are ready to view. If you would like to know the instant that they are ready to view, you can subscribe to the email list at the bottom of the page, or you can Like TimeLine Media at the Facebook page. All updates on the photos will be posted to your wall. You can also add your name to the email list by going to the proofing page:

When you click on the placeholder for the Fall Freestyles, you can add your email address there. I will send out a notice to the list once the images are ready to view. I promise not to send updates there more than 3 times a month!

Going through the photos was a lot of fun – so many great images! As a team, we did have a lot to overcome over the two days. We had some setbacks and triumphs, but in the end, we delivered a great collection from event. If you were there, you know that we have a new tablet system for previewing the photos. Of course we had issues getting a new process in place to have them up, but we are hoping it will be even better in the future as we iron out the bugs. I hope that you visit the proofing page later today to see all the photos, and I hope that you share and enjoy them with your dance instructors, friends, and a family. See you at the next one!

Arthur Murray Posters

It received close to 60 votes at the TimeLine Media Facebook page! It was great to see so many people sharing and liking the photo. I confess that was one of my favorite posters too. It was a fun show, and the dancers did a beautiful job with the performance. In addition, my eyes really like the light green color splash from her dress, and his tie. Matching their color to the title for the poster really made it pop out from the rest for me.

The Foxtrot is always one of the smoothest of the smooth dances. The two of them display this walking feel in the images. Their knees are bent, with them staying low through the dance. It easy to differentiate these images from the Tango with its harder, straightened knees, and obvious holds in movement. These two really made the dance look like it flowed from one part of the floor to the next even out of the dip in the poster! To see all the photos from this show, they are still available at the proofing website:

Just as with all the staff members in the posters, these shows were performed after a full day of dancing with their students! They will gather again this weekend to do more at the Fall Freestyles. I will definitely have more photos to share with you on the blog after then. If you have any suggestions as to what to do for the next round of posters, let me know! I have a few ideas, but nothing is set yet. It may depend on how the shows and photos from those turn out. Thanks again to the Arthur Murray studios of the DC Area for having us cover their events again this year!

Swing Professional Show – Arthur Murray | Ballroom Dance Photographer

It’s Freestyles week! The final preparations are underway for the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles. We are getting the gear, and photos ready for this Friday where we will be at the McLean Hilton in Tysons Corner, VA. We are in for a great 2 days of dancing, and I know that the studios have been busy getting everyone ready. Today is the last day to vote for the posters that we will display at the event. There is a runaway vote-getter from the Ashburn studio, but there is still time to vote for others that we will display as space allows. You can go to the TimeLine Media Facebook page to vote by Liking your favorites:

Professional Staff Show

On this occasion, these photos are from an energetic, fun Triple Swing show by staff members from two different studios. It does not happen as often, but it is awesome to see the staff sharing their resources and putting combinations together for these. We have seen some great partnerships not only for shows, but for competition by having the staff cross over, and these two matched very well.

Swing dancing is popular not just in the ballroom world, but in social dancing. When you start to formally take dance lessons, this is usually one of the first dances that really gives you confidence as you start to learn figures. It is easier to feel the music, the steps are not as strict, and even the faces on people dancing loosen up a lot more in the Swing as can be seen!

This exhibition takes the Swing to another level. These two are very fast, and have some daring moves thrown in for good measure. I had a great time trying to keep up with all of the movements on the floor, and this resulted in a lot of images to choose from for their poster! Thanks to the Arthur Murray Chevy Chase, MD and Arthur Murray Ashburn, VA studios!
