Professional Competition

The Bally’s in Atlantic City was the first ballroom I had ever seen outside of our local area. To be sure, I am older, and I have seen many more dancers since. However, I still have the same enthusiasm for seeing great dancing. Unquestionably, this was on display all weekend from the pros and the amateurs.

2015 DC Dance Challenge photos Released

Downtown DC Dance Competition

The 2015 DC Dance Challenge photos released at the TimeLine Media proofing site! Last weekend, we enjoyed seeing some local dance friends at they competed at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. Once in a while you get the opportunity to photograph in some grand spaces. Without a doubt the Ronald Reagan building was one of them! Luckily, we had a nice setup for our lighting, and a large space to freely move around to get nice images of the dancers.

Certainly being supportive was the top priority for the dancers attending this event. We have been covering this event for Jennifer Bonini for a few years now, and she keeps the friend vibes going by being such a great host. Meanwhile the dancers really give it their best when they are out on the floor whether their heats are contested or not.

As far as the photos at the website, I have tried to sort them based on the number worn by the gentlemen during competition heats. If there are any that have been misfiled, please let me know!

Student Showcase

Last June, I went to Jessup, Maryland to cover the That’s Dancing 2015 Summer Showcase. Marielle and Carlos Pabon have a friendly studio that is supportive of their dancers. In contrast to their Winter Showcase which is at a hotel in Columbia, this event is held at their studio. However, the show is just as entertaining, and the effort put into the performances are not any less fun! To see photos from the show, you can see them at this link:

Staff Showcase

For the last of the 3 acts of the Showcase, the staff of That’s Dancing performs for the audience. Now that they have completed their own performances for the evening, the students are more relaxed to see the grand finale. Especially since they are fresh off of high of dancing in front of their friends and family, they are ready to be inspired by their teachers displaying their skills.

It was a lovely evening to cover the That’s Dancing 2015 Summer Showcase! With attention to keeping a theme for the entire evening, they do a nice job threading the music and routines together. Especially since we cover many dance events, it is nice to hear different music selections, and I keep my phone handy to tag them for practice later! I hope to see the staff and their students at their next showcase soon.
