Bachata Masters

Rockville, Maryland

Last Saturday evening, I was invited to photograph the Bachata Masters event held at the Rendezvous Social Dance Club. This is the latest event in a series that Kat, the owner of Ferocity Dance Company, has organized. It has been a lot of fun at each but the energy at this particular one was at another level!

Dance Workshop

These are always well attended by so many dancers of varying experience levels. Throughout the day, the workshop to learn new techniques, and refine styling, then come back at night to party, dance, and show off their new moves. It is awesome to see so many friends new and old that request to dance and they really have a great time dancing to the music played by DJ EMERZIVE & DJ RENZO.

At the middle point of all the dancing, the floor was cleared for some featured Showcases. This was a treat for everyone that was in attendance. The lineup included Ferocity Dance Company, Alma DC, the headlines, DANIEL & DESIRÉE – World Bachata Masters Champions from Spain. I setup my lights to get some cool images of all the performances. It was a great audience for these performers and they were so responsive for what they were seeing. If you get a chance, please look for videos of these performances online – they were fun to watch, and I looked for them since I was busy at the time!

There are lots of things going on at the website, Facebook page, and offline for TimeLine Media! Monday is the last day to view photos from the Bachata Masters event that was held in Rockville, MD last November 2, 2013. This was a cold night outside, but a hot night of dancing! The bachata and mambo fans were out in force that night, and it made for some great photos.

Lastly, I am getting all the gear ready for the Baltimore Dancesport Challenge this weekend. We are excited about getting to see more dancing! The organizers and venue at this event are always photographer friendly. We will be taking more action photos of the dancers as they compete, and for package holders, we will be printing one photo from the day for them to take home! It is something new that we are trying for this year. It was the idea of Marielle Pabon, the owner of the event, and we think it will be a great added value for attendees. Stay tuned to the blog to see how it turns out! See you this weekend –
