Arthur Murray 2014 Fall Showcase | Dance Photographer

This was the last of the local DC Area Arthur Murray events that we cover throughout the year. With two rooms going at the same time in the morning and afternoon, there is a lot for me and my photographers to cover! We had a great time seeing and hearing all the routines that they have been working on this year. The supportive crowds were very loud in cheering for their favorites!

Because I had a lot of good help behind the cameras, I was able to enjoy more of the dancing. To be sure, I had lots of time looking through the viewfinder. Having done a few of these Showcases in the past, I know how much work goes into preparing these. It takes a lot of lessons to gain the muscle memory to do all of the sequence of steps. After getting that under your belt, you need to spend time coordinating it to the right song. The last weeks are spent really refining the details. Firstly, determine how you will walk on and off the floor. Secondly, how you will face the audience, and, hopefully, how you can get the camera to get your best angles!

We came away with hundreds of awesome images from the day! You can remember the months of work on these routines. I am so glad that you found your favorites in the collection.

I have had a lot of requests throughout the year to have 2014 dance events re-uploaded. Because of busy schedules getting in the way of browsing through photos. If you were one of them, now is your chance to go back and see all your routines! Additionally, you can see costumes, and dresses that you wore this year. It is always gratifying to go back to view all the images that we made at competitions and showcases throughout the year, and I am happy that so many of these have been shared in print and online.

I know I have not been blogging as regularly the last few weeks, and it is because I have been catching up with all the photo shoots I have been doing. I have not even gone through all the photos from this event to pick out my favorites to keep in the portfolio! In the quick look I did for this post, I know I have to do that soon. There were some great images from the professional Rising Star and Open Professional shows.

There were also some other entertainment to go along with the ballroom dancing. The Lindy Hop All Stars and magician David Darwin rounded out the main show. Thanks to everyone that visited the website over the past three weeks. I have sent a lot of prints all around the country and I am sure the digital files have been sent even farther and faster! Please send the link to anyone that attended the competition and have not yet seen their photos. They will be available to view on the website until next March, it is only the pricing for items that will go up starting tomorrow.
