Photos – American Star Ball expiring

©TimeLine Media - ballroom dancing at the American Star Ball

We have had an especially busy weekend! The DC Area Arthur Murray 2013 Fall Freestyles was a great success for the organizers and the dancers. The studios represented well, and we came away with lots of photos from the dance floor. This week will be spent editing and organizing all the photos so they will be ready to view by next weekend at the proofing site. Currently on the proofing site, the 2013 American Star Ball photos will be expiring tomorrow! After Monday, September 23, 2013, the photos will be removed from the website and put into the archive. There are extra charges to get them out after that, so be sure to visit the website and share them before they are gone! Here is the website where we post all our photos from events that we cover:

Here are some of my favorite photos from the American Star Ball. It was a beautiful venue to photograph dancers, and we thank everyone that visited the website after the event. Thanks for supporting our photography!

We would like to thank Amanda and Ilya Reyzin for inviting us to photograph their event this year. The competition was run smoothly, and there were many enthusiastic dancers on the floor. We know that they run an event that dancers will enjoy, so stay tuned to their website for news on next year’s event. It will be another great weekend of dancing!

These two photos were from the professional competition. As a bit of a crossover from our latest event, these two couples performed professional shows at the end of the Arthur Murray event this weekend. Both are amazing to photograph, and it is a privilege to capture their dancing. We will definitely have more of them on future blog posts!

The Fall Freestyles is in progress! We are busy covering event with lots of photography. On this occasion the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner is the venue for the weekend, and things are running smoothly. Of course, we have a great group of photographers helping us capture all the ballroom dancing action. We can’t wait to share all the photos with you soon. As an illustration, here is our booth for the weekend. Stop by and say hello!

EDIT: I have come back to this post to add a little more information. Since I did not have a lot of down time during the event, I waited until now. Simultaneously managing all the photos and blogging while the event is in progress is not something I do regularly. By comparison, it was nice to have some content going up to keep me in the moment. However, I found it frantic trying to get it posted! I’m going back to editing so I can get these out to you this week. Stay tuned for updates!

2 Days Until Fall Freestyles

Tysons, Virginia

It is only 2 days until the Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles. This Friday and Saturday in Tysons Corner, Arthur Murray studios from around the region will bring their staff and students to show off their new moves on the dance floor. We are going to be there to photograph all the dancing on both days. After the event, we will edit the photos, then post them to our proofing website. That is where we post all the photos from our events. If you would like to be notified as soon as the photos are ready to view, you can go here and sign up for the email list:

http://proofs.timelinedc.com

I will send out a note to everyone on the list there as soon as they photos are viewable. It is a lot of work after the event to get them up, so it does take a good week to complete. I will go through each of the photos, crop them down so you can really see the subject, fix and color or exposure problems, then we sort each of the photos by studio. This helps to find your photos after the event. It can be difficult to find when photos are only sorted by time of dancing, so we do this extra step to make it easier and fun to find your images. You will be viewing photos of people at your studio instead of random people that were dancing with you at the same time.

Potomac Cup

One of our favorite things to photograph is the Potomac Cup Team Match. The schools from Maryland and Virginia pick a theme to represent their side of the river. Then dancers from each level are paired up from different schools, and dance to a song and danced picked as they are ready to dance. These are unique images that I know we cannot get anywhere else! Contact the studios if you would like to get access to watch any of the dancing this weekend. There is a balcony overlooking the dance floor so come by!
