The 2019 Fall Freestyles photos are expiring soon! Given that we have new 2020 events coming online, we need to make room on the server. To be sure our record-setting Freestyles takes a lot of space! Thanks to everyone that purchase holiday gifts from the site. Before they are archived, the photos will be here:

Open Professional Competition

During the professional competition, I was tense! as I have noted, these are not as good for my photos compared to the shows. On this occasion, there seemed to be more competitors than usual. Because of that fact, it was difficult to get photos of everyone. For fear that I would miss, I tried to capture one photo of a couple, then move on. It was a bit frantic, and I was unsure if I was getting anything good.

For the Rhythm heats, I changed my position. By comparison there would not be as much chance to see everyone. By elevating my position above the crowd, I was assured of a clearer path to the floor. In short, I think I covered it, but I know I could have done better!

2019 Winter Showcase photos Released

DC Area Arthur Murray Studios

The photos from last Saturday’s 2019 Winter Showcase have been released! It was our last Arthur Murray event for the 2019. We edited and sorted the photos as quickly as possible. Here is the link to the collection:

In general, I think we have everyone where they should be. However, if there is a couple in the wrong studio, please let me know!

This event was a good one compared to other simply due to the music selections. Since the students can work with the staff to pick their own tracks for their routines, there is more of a variety than normal. Interpreting a track, especially if it is a popular song, can help you visualize something familiar in a new way. It emphasizes the creativity in a new way, and is another avenue of learning dance from school figures. I wonder if that influences how the judges view the routines. Perhaps they had their own thoughts on how a dance will meld with a song. How will they react if they see something different presented on the floor?

The competition heats in the All-Arounds were very full this time! In order to rank all the couples, there were many heats that needed semi-final rounds to accommodate so many entries. By the evening, the excitement in the competition was really high. After the rest for dinner, the crowd was enthusiastically cheering for their studio-mates!

Hollywood Show

Now that I look over the photos, I am really in awe! After all the work that the studio staff on their regular schedule was done, they came together to rehearse this show. In the first place, they had to choreograph, and practice their section. Then, they had to pull all seven studios in one place to get the final show together. Being that there are so many moving parts, personalities, and schedules, this was a huge undertaking.

Thanks again for visiting the site and for sharing the photos. Given that this Hollywood Show was such a spectacle, I recommend going to the Dance-o-rama at National Harbor to see it again! Also, I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving. While the sesaon may be busy, the photos will still be here, so take your time – I’ll leave them up until early next year!
