Just a quick post today as we are going to be photographing the DC Dance Challenge today in the Atrium Ballroom of the Ronald Reagan Building. This is a new venue for us in the heart of downtown Washington, DC. It will be a new setup and arrangement for us and the organizers of the event who originally scheduled this at the Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo. With the federal government shutdown, a new venue was needed. Luckily, this is another top of the line space in the area for ballroom dancing. We wish luck on all the dancers today! By next Saturday, we will have the photos posted to the proofing website for viewing. You can leave you email address here to be notified as soon as they are completed with their upload, and are ready to view:

Thanks to everyone that has visited the site this week to view the Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles photos! The early-bird sale on those images is still on-going. The 20% off pricing on that event will be good until next Monday, October 14, 2013. If you have any questions on the products available, please let me know. I have been getting lots of questions from new participants that joined us at this event.

Venue Moved – DC Dance Challenge

Facts of life around DC have been challenging this last week. The government shutdown has drastically changed the way our area is looking, and there are many changes to daily life that is taking some adjustment. The Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park is run by the National Park Service. Without a federal budget, this park is closed, and no activities are able to go on at the site.

Downtown Washington, DC

So tomorrow’s DC Dance Challenge has moved to the Atrium Ballroom at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in downtown DC! This is a beautiful newer building built in the federal style to match the many government buildings in the immediate surrounding area. We are thankful that the organizers were able to arrange such a great venue in short notice! We are excited to shoot a ballroom dance event there for the first time, and of course, we’ll have the photos of the moved venue here on the blog.

The photos will definitely look different from the unique architecture and dance floor of the Spanish Ballroom, but we’ll do our best to make it look just as good in the photos. There is a lot of excitement about the competition this year, and the entries are always going up. We look forward to seeing more familiar faces on the dance floor tomorrow!

DC Dance Challenge

©TimeLine Media - 2012 DC Dance Challenge

Our next ballroom dance event will be this upcoming Sunday – the 2013 DC Dance Challenge. We have covered this event for a number of years, and we enjoy the day of dancing at the beautiful Spanish Ballroom in Glen Echo park. Not to put too much of a damper on the excitement, but due to the Federal government shutdown, the regular venue may be unavailable. The organizers will still hold the event on Sunday, but there may be a change of place since the park will be closed, and there will be no access to the ballroom.

Knowing the bigger picture, this is small in comparison to the effect of the shutdown on the thousands of federal workers. Especially in the local area that we live and work, we know that this will be a tough week. In any case, the event will go on Sunday, but stay tuned to the DC Dance Challenge website for updates on the venue. We are hopeful that the shutdown will end for those who depend on the government for their livelihood. In addition, we would love to go back to the Spanish Ballroom for the uniqueness and beauty of the room. Here are some images from last year’s event showing off the space-
