Showcase Ready!

This is the weekend! We are ready to photograph the Arthur Murray Summer Showcase this Sunday, June 1. It does not seem that long since our last ballroom dance event. It has been only 2 weeks since we were on the sidelines at the dance floor! Additionally, it has also been a short time since the Spring Freestyles. We have been so busy, the time just flew!

We know that the dancers have been hard at work in the studios with their coaches and instructors to get their routines ready for the judges. I am personally excited about hearing some great music to go along with these routines! With the opportunity to choose your own music to go along with the choreography, it is a great time to find some new music to add to your practice playlist. I will have my iPhone on me with the music identification app on the ready!

Even though you have been working for many weeks, maybe months for these routines, we know that there can be some hiccups. In the photos, if you hide it well, and continue to have a good time, it will still be a success! The judges know the amount of time you put into these, and a little slip will not sink your score. Even the best dancers do not hit all their lines every time – I photograph a lot of these, and I have seen it firsthand. If they continue and finish like nothing happened, it will almost be a nonfactor in how the judges score. Showcase, like all the other events, should be a fun day to come together with your dance friends to catch up, show off some new steps in your social dancing, and inspire others to dance better at the next event. I’ll be there to hopefully catch some nice images! The photos will be posted at the proofing site by the following weekend at the latest.

Arthur Murray – Showcase Week

Chantilly, Virginia

Today, I am back to work after the long holiday weekend. Overall we had nice weather, and we took advantage of the luck by spending a lot of time outside. The big project to work on for this week of course is the upcoming DC Area Arthur Murray Summer Showcase. It will be held this Sunday, June 1, 2014 at the Hilton McLean in Tysons Corner, VA. Similarly to our other events, the photos will be posted to the proofing website about a week after the event here:

Foxtrot Professional Show

The photos on today’s post are from a Foxtrot performed by the Arthur Murray Silver Spring, Maryland studio. These two have been regulars on the blog as they do many shows to end these events. We have also seen them competing in open professional competitions together, so they are very well-practiced for the spotlight.

In their shows, they display their artistry and story-telling along with their technical skills. This Foxtrot had some beautiful lines that matched with the music. From my position, I was able to get a lot of these poses nicely as they moved around the floor.

These two add new wrinkles to their shows as they continue to progress in their dancing. Even though we have seen them dance so many shows in previous events, there is always something new that pops up with each routine. It continues to make them a crowd favorite with the students and staff from the other studios. I always look forward to see what they come with when I see them on the program. More shows like this will be on display this weekend. I’ll be ready!

Other updates include the blog site you are reading right now. Unless you are on an RSS reader you may have noticed that there is a change to the look of the blog. After a few years of the old design, it was time for a change. Thanks to some of the regular visitors to the blog that noticed some of the errors popping up. If any of you notice that there are still some things that need to be fixed, please send me an email: Rassi at timelinedc.com

Finally, I wanted to post about the Facebook poll about the upcoming Arthur Murray Summer Showcase. I have made posters from each of the professional shows from the Spring Freestyles. They are a bit of a departure from my usual images as I posted yesterday. I wanted to give the Analog Efex Pro 2 plugin a run with some of my images to see what it could do. It is definitely much more than an “Instagram-like” filter with all of the option and control you have over the adjustments, and can be a very useful tool for photographers. Please check out all 8 of the posters at the TimeLine Media Facebook page, and like your favorites. I will count up the Likes on Sunday, and the 2 posters with the most votes will be printed to display at the June 1 showcase. Happy Memorial Day!
