Professional Shows

Once all the awards were given out, the event finished with professional shows. In addition to the couples that danced, there were two studios that performed formations! Being that these are the most technical dancers, these made a big impact on the show. For one thing, they can spread out across the dance floor. Compared to single dancers, they can bring the dancing much closer to the crowd. Moreover, it was a nice contrast to see groups out there along with the single couples. In general, these performances were worth the price of admission!

2019 Lunar New Year

Tysons Corner Center

Last week I photographed the 2019 Lunar New Year celebration at Tysons Corner Center. Given that they had such a large crowd in Fashion Court last year, they held the event in the same space. While there was plenty of room to see the action on two different floors of the mall, there was still a crowd of people wanting to get a view.

At this time there were some talented dancers that performed some challenging cultural dancers for the crowd. From a photography standpoint, the streaking cloths, and the dancing dragons were the most dynamic for me. However, there was also a demonstration of martial arts during the show. Certainly they also have some dynamic movements, but I am not as familiar with them. Having an idea of what movement is coming up is important for getting the best images. With this in mind, I definitely need more practicing watching them if I want to improve!

Student Showcases

Since we have two rooms to cover for the showcase routines, I needed help to cover. with this in mind, I only photographed the Smooth room myself. Seeing that we had some excellent assistants in the Rhythm room, I could concentrate on the large Smooth ballroom.

While photographing in this room, I wonder which is more challenging. In the rhythm room, the audience is much closer, and the floor smaller. However, the larger room has more floor to cover even though there is more distance to the edges. This highlights a contrast in dancing styles. Do you have a style that you prefer – let me know!
