Tick, tick, tick – today is the last day to view and buy photos from the 2013 DC Dance Challenge!  After tonight, the images will be removed from the website, and put in the archive. We need to make more room for new events – starting with our first event of the year this upcoming weekend. There was some great ballroom, and Latin dancing from the participants, and an awesome professional Argentine Tango show to end the day.

Thanks to Fabio and Jennifer Bonini that have had us cover their event the last couple of years. They worked very hard every year to bring more to the dancers so that they have a good time on the dance floor and off. This last competition had their special challenges landing on the week of a federal government shutdown. This resulted in a change of venue right at the last minute, and they pulled it off nicely. The Ronald Reagan building was a beautiful venue for their event, and it would be nice if this becomes the new venue as it was great for photos.

Whatever or where-ever the competition is held, you know that it will be worth your time to get in front of their judges, and enjoy the dancing of your friends and studio mates. They also have some great shows, and the unique “Dancing with the DC Stars” competition. We hope to be invited back again this year, so stay tuned to their website for more details as the date comes closer.

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!

Overall, we want to thank Jennifer and Fabio Bonini for inviting us to their event. On this occasion, the full dance floor made the job of finding dancers throughout the event very easy! We are also selecting photos for the top student awards. Stay tuned for updates!
