Last weekend, we photographed the Arthur Murray 2014 Spring Freestyles, and the River City Ballroom Dance competition. I am working on editing the photos now, and will have a better idea as to when each will be ready. Stay tuned to the blog for ongoing updates on the status of these images. As tired as I am from the weekend, I am boosted by the feedback we received from so many this last weekend. From what I have seen from the Spring Freestyles so far, it looks like another nice collection so far, so I can’t wait to get these out! We worked with some great photographers this last weekend, and I cannot wait to show off what we were able to create with the dancers. More updates coming soon!

This event was another great one for photos. I have posted many times about how much the setup the ballroom at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City works well for our photography. With the size of the ballroom, we have a lot of flexibility on how to light the room. In having 2 events to shoot there annually, the setup is much easier for us now. Having the knowledge of where you want to setup your gear, and where you want to position yourself to shoot, allows me to just concentrate on following the dancers on the floor. Then it is easier to get better photos, and have less “test shots” to go through before they get good!

At last years, NJ State Open, there were some nice exhibition showcases prepared by both amateurs and professionals which added a lot of personality and theatrics to the event. This added some different images from the competitive heats that we see at other competitions. There was also time for some general dancing on Saturday evening, and other non-ballroom dance shows to enjoy. Keep this event in mind for this October and visit the competition website for updates as the dates draw near!

This weekend, TimeLine Media will be covering the DC Area Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles event in Chantilly, VA. There will likely not be any updates on the blog, but I will be posting updates on my Twitter Feed, the Facebook page, and my Instagram Feed when I get the chance. See you on the dance floor!

Waltz Showcase – Smooth Professional Show

Today’s photos are from the last show not yet featured from the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Showcase. If I forgot any of them, I would not be able to keep my reputation. Moreover, I would probably hear about it from the studios! Since the next Arthur Murray even that we are scheduled to cover is this upcoming weekend, I need to post this quick! This show was a beautiful Waltz by the Chevy Chase, Maryland studio.

Tavia and Austin have performed many shows over the years, and I have enjoyed the photos I get from all of them. Whether rhythm or smooth, these two capture the audience attention and hold them for their performances. The music chosen was the haunting “My Love” by Sia.

The pairing of this song with their dancing was amazing. This was one time I wish I could share a video of the dance along with the photos as in this instance, I wish I could have produce both moving and still pictures of this show. Like the music lyrics, the dance seems to have many meanings depending on interpretation of the viewer or listener. However you see the meaning, the dancers hushed the audience, and you could feel the quiet parts of the music as no one wanted to make a sound until they were sure that the piece was completed. It was a compliment to their work in preparing this show, and hope to see more from them at future events.
