These photos are from another great event that TimeLine Media photographs each year, the River City Ballroom Dance Competition. Competition organizers Veronica Braun and Lee Nugent from Simply Ballroom VA in Richmond have worked hard to put together a really nice event for dancers to show off for judges and studio friends. It is held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center which has a large high-ceiling room with a beautiful dance floor.

Familiar faces

It is also nice to see so many familiar dancers at this event. Being from the northern Virginia area, it is nice to see many instructors, dancers that recognize us, and know what we do. It emphatically does make for better photos! The trip to Richmond is very drivable. Additionally, the area around the convention center is very convenient to hotels, restaurants. Also it gives a nice variety to the type of venues we shoot. I am much more confident if anyone asks for photos in a large convention center room that I can light the room to get good exposures.

2013 Event

The convention center room is so large that I do have to adjust the way I light the dance floor, but we still get beautiful images of dancers in all styles. This year, they are planning a Professional Showcase Challenge to add to the program which should be a great show! We are excited about going back to cover the event this year, and we look forward to making more great images. See you there!

DC Area Arthur Murray – Fall Freestyles

Tysons, Virginia

We are all packed up and ready to shoot the 2011 Fall Freestyles! On this occasion the venue is the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner, VA. It will be another great event organized by the DC Area Arthur Murray dance studios. Although it has not started, we have a good idea on what to expect. Surely there will be enthusiastic students and instructors cheering on their friends.

Dancers will show off their hard work from the studio on the big floor. It is always a good time, and the dancers love to view their photos as we go through them. Obviously we can’t wait to get some great photos of the professional shows that cap the event on Saturday night. In general, I save portfolio images from these pro shows as they are the capstone for a weekend of dancing.

I hope to see you there! As soon as we finish photographing, I start the post processing which takes a few days. Photos from the event will be posted here by next week:

River City Ballroom Dance competition

Earlier this year, I photographed the River City Ballroom Dance competition in Richmond, VA for the second time. It is organized by Veronica and Lee at Simply Ballroom. On this occasion, it was held again at the Greater Richmond Convention Center conveniently located downtown. From there you have easy access to hotels, and restaurants. Moreover, there is plenty of room on the dance floor! The number of dancers doubled this year. With this in mind, there was plenty of opportunity for practice and comments from judges and other participants.

Prior to the start of the competition, we had a chance to catch up with familiiar friends. While some are from our home base in northern Virginia, some are local to Richmond. Especially the dancers from the host studio of Simply Ballroom. Veronica and Lee involve many of their students in the event. They are amazing hosts, and we look forward to our next trip south!
