AM-Spring-Freestyles-Top-Teacher-www.timelinedc.com

This post has all the Top Teachers from the Spring Freestyles event. I have started looking through the photos from Friday and Saturday. We have thousands of them! Because there are so many, and we know you want to find your photos quickly, we will edit the photos and sort them by studio before posting them to the website. It will take us by Saturday to get them up to our website here:

I will post some updates to the blog and the Facebook page so you will know the progress of the photos. Thanks to the DC Area Arthur Murray dance studios for having us cover another one of their successful events. Overall they always step up with the hotel, decorations, Potomac Cup Team Match, and Professional Shows. Contact them for information for the next event, the Summer Showcase coming up June 22, 2013. Again that event will be held at the McLean Hilton in Tysons Corner, VA. Following are the photos of the Top Teachers from each studio. As can be seen, there were some proud staff from these studios! See you at the next one.

Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles – Day 2

We are ready to start Day 2 of dancing at the DC Area Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles! We had a fun time yesterday and made thousands of great photos. Thanks to Chris and Neil for helping us – we snuck out on the dance floor for a few heats. We hope to have all the photos up on the website by next weekend.

At this time, we had two parts to our weekend. Not only did we photograph the events on the dance floor, but we also participated! Dancing while managing photography is by and large a difficult task on both ends. Although we are well-practiced on both, our brains cannot run at peak on either at the same event. However, it still is valuable to dip into dancing. While it is good for physical health, it puts me in a different mindset during the event. Now I have a real feel for what dancers that we are photographing are seeing. In particular, I see what the audience looks like from the spotlight, and I hear the reactions from friends around the room. Undoubtedly it helps to push me to make even better photos over the weekend!

Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles day 1

Another day of dancing and photographs is upon us! I am charging all the batteries, cleaning all the lenses, and packing up the car for the DC Area Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles. The dancing starts this afternoon and continues until Saturday night. These are so much fun for us to shoot. The only dance studio we have taken lessons is the Arthur Murray in Tysons Corner, VA. We appreciate the challenging work the teachers put in to getting students in front of the judges. There has been a lot of cramming the last couple of weeks! When you see familiar faces out on the floor, it gives us a home-field advantage in making good photos – they are some of my favorites every year. If can’t make it out this time, they have more events coming throughout the year. As usual, the photos from this weekend will be edited, sorted, and posted to the proofing website here-
