Now that we are in a new year, we are preparing to make more ballroom dance photos. On this occasion, we are looking back on photos from the 2012 USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships. This year’s event will be February 16 – 17, 2013. Since this will be the same venue as last year, I am confident on our lighting setup. The Marriott North Bethesda has some of the largest ballrooms in the area. From a photography standpoint, this makes the job much easier.

Similarly to the organizers, we are trying to incorporate new technologies as they are available. The electronic organizers used by judges help streamline the scoring. Overall, I can see the scrutineer getting the data much faster. Especially considering the large number of heats and scores that need tabulating, I am sure this makes the job easier. This time, we are going to try to do some things behind the scenes for the photography too. We want to get these out to you as soon as possible. Stay tuned to see how we do once they have all been uploaded!

If you stumbled upon my website, you most likely came here looking for your ballroom dance photos. We have been dancing for 8 years, and we enjoy this hobby to get out of the house. Additionally, it will challenge the mind for a few nights a week. This hobby, much like photography, has led to getting more involved than we ever planned. But we have met so many nice dancers. Moreover we have enjoyed capturing them on the dance floors, both professional and not. These photos are from the 2012 USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships.

We have been privileged to be the official photographers for this event every year since 2009. It is held in Bethesda, Maryland ever year for amateur couples looking for comments from judges and acquiring points for Nationals at this National Qualifying Event. Every year, we get some of our best photos of the year from the dancers there. Of course we look forward to this competition! If you are at all interested in ballroom dance, this is a great event to attend to watch or get your feet wet if you are contemplating competing with your partner in a large competition. Competition dancing is inspiring to watch and these dancers will give you something to shoot for you in your own dancing.

Contact the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of USA Dance for more information. We will be there again this year, so come out and see us!
