Thank you to Meghan and Jake Lavender of Wave Dance Studio for having us cover their event for the second consecutive year. By comparison this year was much better for me. In short, due to having help with me! My wife made the trek with me to Asheville this time, and everything was just so much easier when I have someone managing me.

The Asheville Crowne Plaza was the venue again this year. Comparatively, this is a convenient space for vendors to load in all the gear for the weekend. With a ballroom on the street level with a door that open right to the loading area, the transport distance is very low.

With this being our second time here, it was much faster to setup the lighting and the booth once we had everything inside. Given that Jake, and Meghan were so helpful to us, we settled in nicely to get some photos of all the dancing. They do a great job of transforming the ballroom into a beautiful evening under the stars. It helps to set a consistent look with a dark theme to have the dancers be out front!

Last weekend was a nice time to drive south to the 2019 Asheville Dance Classic. On this occasion, the TimeLine Media mobile was fully packed both with gear and passengers. My wife could make the trip with me this year, so we could explore a little more this time. Of course Meghan and Jake Lavender were terrific hosts to us and the participants in their competition this year. To see photos from the event, you can click this link:

Road Trip

We took the opportunity to explore a little of the Asheville, NC area on this trip. At this time, many places were starting to bring out their holiday decorations. This would be perfect timing with the fall leaves almost fallen completely from the trees.

Certainly this area will be well decked out with twinkling lights to go along with the cozy place to eat around town. Moreover we enjoyed browsing the number of businesses centered around the arts including galleries and museums. I can see why Wave Studio has so many enthusiastic dancers that participate in their local competition. On the dance floor, some four-legged friends visited from the Humane Society of Asheville. All mambo heats contributed to their organization!

I really enjoyed participating in this competition! Not only was this a nice setting for dance photos, but they added unique elements over the weekend. Firstly, there was a charitable component to some of the heats. At the end of the competition, the organizers donated to the Asheville Humane Society from the proceeds. Moreover, a resident of the Society visited with the dancers after dinner! With all the dog lovers in the crowd they were a big hit!

Professional Show

To conclude the event, Mykyta Serdyuk and Anna Krasnoshapka danced an amazing show! Their performance was in your face being that they were sos close to the audience! From a photographer perspective, my low angle and lighting worked well in this situation.

Finally thanks to Meghan and Jake for inviting me to their competition! Since we have never worked together directly, I thank them for the support. When in the Asheville area, go visit them at Wave Dance Studio. Likewise, be sure to come to their competition next year!
