Last Saturday, we photographed the 2016 DC Dance Challenge. Although we were at a new venue, the Westin Alexandria, the room was excellent for photos! After all the dancing, we edited and sorted the photos by numbers worn by gentlemen. To see all the photos, here is the link:
Thank you to Jennifer Bonini for having us cover her event again this year! Previously we have photographed the DC Dance Challenge in many other venues in the area. In addition to staff from Forever Dancing ballroom, they ran a smooth event. Eventually, we will get a list of the award winners from this event. For instance, Top Bronze Student, Top Studio, etc. Then I will make some nice plaques labeled with the awards and one of their images. Be on the lookout for those soon!
Tomorrow, the photos from the 2016 Baltimore Dancesport Challenge are expiring from the TimeLine Media proofing site. Before they are removed and archived, please share the link! Following our last post, traffic was up at the proofing site:
Following dinner and awards, we were treated to a professional show. Emilia Poghosyan and Hyak Balasanyan put on a sharp display of their artistry. Certainly they were technically amazing dancers, but their routines were also FUN! Emphatically, the crowd responded to their performances. Surely they connected with the audience with their engaging, and entertaining dancing.
Finally, I wanted to thank Marielle for inviting us back to her event this year. As well as being a supporter of our photography, she is a wonderful host to the dancers. Indeed it is easy to see why this event grows in participation every year. Lastly, thanks to everyone that viewed and purchase photos from this event!
Next Monday, the photos from the 2016 River City Ballroom Dance Competition will expire! Afterwards, the photos will be moved to the archives. Soon, we will have more events to post, and we will need the space. Until they expire, you can see the photos at this link:
From youth dancers, college-age students, to seasoned dance enthusiasts, there was a large range of participants in this competition. Seeing that so many of this diverse group came together to dance was inspiring! Undeniably this is a goal for organizers Lee and Veronica. Because of their outreach efforts to other studios, they have grown this competition over the last few years. Given that they know how to run a smooth competition, it is easy to see how they continue to keep this tradition going!
