The photos from last weekend’s 2017 River City Ballroom Dance Competition are available at the TimeLine Media proofing site! It has already been a year since the last time we went south for our annual visit. Veronica and Lee have a beautiful studio in Richmond, Virginia. Their event was held there on Saturday. I have edited and sorted the photos by leader’s number. Here is the link to the 4000+ photos from the event:

Although we have been covering their event for years, this is the first time we have been to their studio! While they have one large practice ballroom at the entrance, they recently expanded. During the event, this was a perfect check-in and getting-ready area for the competition. Following the start of the competition, their larger ballroom was transformed. That is this part had the music director, emcee, judges, and a large dance space. Photographing here was a good experience owing to the fact that they were accommodating. Moreover since this was their space, the organizers were flexible with the setup. With this in mind, I setup 3 strobes around the room.

Last week, we went to the BWI area of Maryland to cover the 2017 Baltimore Dancesport Challenge. After the week of editing and sorting, I have posted the collection of photos at the TimeLine Media proofing site. To clarify, the photos have been sorted by the gentleman’s number worn in heats. Please share the links with anyone that may like to see them:

Thanks to Marielle Pabon for having us cover her event again this year. She has been a big supporter of our work for years. Likewise, we attempt to get good marketing photos for her competition during the event. The way she sets up the ballroom makes that an easy job. For one thing, there is a beautiful dark blue curtain behind the dais. Having it just in that section, keeps the rest of the room open making it less confining than other setups we have attended. As can be seen in the above photo, the attendance was high for this event! The award break emphasized that. We hope you enjoy the images, and thank you for sharing them around!

This was our first ballroom dance event of 2017 – the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships. Again, Jack Reinhold asked if we would be the official photographer again this year. We photographed over all three days of the competition. All the photos we made have been edited and sorted by numbers worn by leaders here:

In the same fashion as last year, we took pre-orders for photography coverage this year. Not only does this help to ensure we are getting photos for people that really want them, but it has other benefits. In the first place, I can be more creative with the images. Since I am concentrating on only a few couples at a time, I produce different kinds of images. Secondly, I don’t miss any important dances since I focus in only on those heats with customers dancing.

In general, these dancers came prepared for this competition. Since this was a qualifying event for the USA Dance Nationals, the participants were ready with that competition only a few months away. Thanks to the staff of USA Dance Mid-Eastern Chapter who worked very hard all weekend. With all the moving parts with this event, they pulled off a great event!
