2009 Ballroom Dance

It was an amazing photography year for me on the ballroom dance floor! I was able to go to exotic places (Philadelphia) to familiar venues to capture the most dynamic, and best images so far. The last event of the year was the Arthur Murray Fall Showcase. For the last event, we got some great help from behind the camera, so we could actually step out on the floor ourselves. It was nerve-racking, and scary to get back out there, but we had a great time. Plus we had some great shots of us as a bonus! Thanks to everyone who helped us setup and photograph these events, and of course, thanks to everyone who has supported my little enterprise by purchasing pictures. I can’t wait to see everyone again in 2010!

USA Dance 2009 Southeastern Championships

More fun dance news! TimeLine Media will be the photography vendor for the USA Dance 2009 Southeastern Championships. On this occasion it will be held February 28 – March 1, 2009. The competition will be held at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda. This will be another great chance to get photos of dancers that have worked so hard with their instructors for this special event. I am so excited as the great hobby of ballroom dance is mixing well with my photography! I will be posting the images from the event at this website when they are available. As always, my best wishes are for the dancers to do well, then to enjoy the pictures afterwards after all the nerves and adrenaline! Best of luck!

USA Dance Mideastern MD-VA Chapter

UPDATE – this is a couple of years after this post was made. At this time I wanted to beef up the content of these USA Dance posts. For this reason, I am amazed at the change in these blog posts. Not only is the content different, but I can’ t imagine posting without any of my photos along with the text! However, this was very early in my photography career. In fact, this was the first time we ever covered this event. We look forward to our continued partnership!

Upcoming Dance events – Clover Star Classic

Excited! TimeLine Media is set to cover the Clover Star Classic in Philadelphia, PA on February 7, 2009. Overall, ballroom dance photography is a photographer’s dream assignment! With all the colors, the movement, and subjects that are picture-ready, the opportunities for especially great photos are plentiful. For those that attend the event, I will post the images at this website for you to preview, share with your friends, and order prints. I love the challenge to capture these quick moments, and I hope the participants enjoy!

UPDATE! At this time the photos from the UPenn Ballroom event are now ready to view! This was our first collegiate ballroom dance event that we attended. Though we had not been to this venue, I think we setup our lighting nicely for action photos. We want to especially thank the organizers from the UPenn Ballroom club for inviting us to photograph the event. Moreover, they were very accommodating to us helping to get our booth and cameras setup in the ballroom. If you have any trouble finding your photos, please let me know.
