Editing Update – New Jersey State Open

©TimeLine Media - NJ State Open Maxx/Vega show

The editing from last weekend’s 2013 New Jersey State Open is continuing. I am almost halfway through the edits, so it will likely be late Saturday before the photos will be ready to view. The workstation, Lightroom, and especially my fingers are working as fast as we can to finish these! Some of the photos that I have gone through include all the award lineups. If you would like to see these, they have been posted to the Facebook page for the competition which you can see here.

Here are some images from the other entertaining shows from Saturday night. There was a magician/comedian and a Michael Jackson impersonator that performed for the audience in between the professional competitions. They were a great break from the dancing, which gave the officials and judges a little break as they were tabulating scores from the competition.

Maxx Vega had an audience that was there to appreciate good dancing. It was a great venue for him to show off his skills. It was nice to hear MJ’s music so loud in the ballroom with a great interpretation of the King of Pop!

Awards – New Jersey State Open

For the most part, I stay on one side of the room to photograph ballroom dancers. There is a “good side” for the room that has awards, banners, or other displays that frame the dancers well at a particular competition. For the New Jersey State Open, they have a huge pink neon sign hanging from behind the stage where the emcee, DJ, scrutineers, and other organizers manage the flow of the competition.

They have a great elevated view of all the dancers and judges as they work throughout the weekend. There is a lot of action up there too – gathering score sheets, computing the lineups of all the couples, and making sure everyone is announced as they placed. It is a lot of work! Sometimes they get a little goofy as the days go on.

I really admire how well they pulled off the competition. There were no long delays in getting scores entered, and awards given out. They are usually photographer breaks, so I don’t mind, but they got everyone back to dancing quickly! We ran very early all weekend – it shows their experience in handling so many entries. Thank you!

The early bird special on all photos for the 2013 DC Dance Challenge will end today at the proofing website:

http://proofs.timelinedc.com/

You will still be able to view and share the photos on there until next February, but the 20% off sale on all products will expire tonight. Thanks to everyone that has visited over the last 2 weeks! We have sent prints and digital images to lots of you. It is so nice to see them pop up on Facebook and other social media. It is so nice to see dancers enjoying their images after working so hard on their school figures and routines to perform for the judges.

One of the highlights of the day was Rie and Fabio’s performance during the “Dancing with the DCDC Stars” competition. It was a fun number with lots of nice moments thrown in the middle of some great dancing. The best routines have both – entertaining expressions for the audience, mixed with good technique. This first photo was one of my favorites from the day:

Lots of energetic moves throughout the routine – and a few lifts too!

The judges were really impressed with what Rie and Fabio put together in this piece. Agreeing with the audience, one of the judges awarded them a perfect 10!
