USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships – Setup Day

Wow – that last snow storm really packed a punch. Although we are sore from all the shoveling, my Valentine and I will be getting ready for our work weekend. It is a day to setup all the gear, to photograph the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships this weekend. The blog will probably not be updated until at least Monday since we will be busy clicking the shutter, downloading cards, and trying to keep up with all the action this weekend! To keep up with the latest updates, I will try to post updates to the Facebook page and to my Twitter feed. They are much easier to update from the side of the dance floor!

We enjoy starting off our year with this event. With all the different experience levels, and the seeing all of the dancers enjoying the spectacle whether it is the first or fiftieth dancesport competition is so much fun. There are some great photographers helping us this weekend, and we are excited to make some new photos for everyone to enjoy. From our average, it will take at least a week for us to edit the photos, and sort them according to number. It is always a big job, but that is the goal right now. To view all the photos from the event by next Saturday, February 22, 2014, you can go to the proofing site here:

If you add your email list to the mailing list for the event, I will let you know as soon as the photos are ready to view. Have a great weekend, and we hope to see everyone dancing this weekend!

USA Dance – Mid Atlantic Championships

It is only 10 days until we head out to cover our first ballroom dance event of 2014 – USA Dance MAC! I am really excited about getting out there to make another big collection of dance photos. It has been a while, and I am well rested from the editing and sorting of photos from last year. I have been busy making new ones with personal projects, but I cannot wait to get back to the colors, the music, and all the great action on the dance floor.

If you are in the metro DC area, you should make plans to come see at last some part of the competition. The USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships is a huge competition with lots going on both on and off the floor. The venue, the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, is one of the nicest settings for dancing. It is a large, bright room that can accommodate the large floor, and all the couples easily. We try to improve our setup of lighting every year, and I have some ideas for this year to help me and photographers make the best photos for you. Please come out and see the action live, and come back here to see our photos.

I know the organizers are always trying new things with each competition. They have a lot of technology in use to make it easier for the judges, scrutineers, and dancers to stay on track. We really enjoy seeing their innovation, and am privileged to be covering their event for another year. It should be a fun weekend!

USA Dance 2014 Mid-Atlantic Championships

It is less than a month now until the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships! It will be the first ballroom dance event of many that we have planned to cover in 2014. I am starting to line up some assistants to help shoot, and am ensuring all my gear is ready for another busy season.

The venue for the ballroom is beautiful inside and out, giving the competition a high end look without too much added decoration. These collages were made from some of our favorite images from the 2013 event. Their portrait orientation make it more difficult to show off online, so I made the triptych from similar styles of dance.

It is nice to see so many fine tuning their dancing for the national competition later in the year. There is still some time to get entered into the competition, and to get tickets to view all the action. Visit the Mid-Eastern Chapter of USA Dance to get information on the event as the deadlines are coming up quick. We hope to see you there soon!
