In reviewing the photos from the pro shows, I got lucky in my lighting setup. At this time, the curtains from the wall mirrors were open. On account of the direct reflection from my flashes, I usually do not like to have them open. Because of the flare from the lights, I know that I will have to throw some images away. Thankfully, I did not have to do it because of my low angle from the floor! Check out the site to see the other images from this show.

When the DC area Arthur Murray studios get together for their Freestyles events, the part that gets the most participation from everyone there has to be the Potomac Cup team match. This pits all the studios from Maryland against the studios from Virginia in a one-dance competition between amateur dancers from different studios. They all compete at their level, so a Bronze student will dance with another Bronze student, etc. And each level will also have a dance selected by the organizers which is not known until just before the music starts. The participation from the others that are not dancing in the competition, the studios will choose a theme to represent their side of the river. For Maryland, the theme was Harry Potter, for Virginia, the theme was 80’s heavy metal hair bands. This is obviously one of those times where pictures speak louder than words!

At the end of the evening, we were treated to some amazing professional and pro-am performances. Two of them were by Rosalia Gasso & Alejandro Barrientos. This pair are Master Teachers and Choreographers from Buenos Aires. They performed the Argentine Tango, and the performance was amazing! They had a quickness in their swivels and ganchos that I had to just watch. It would be impossible to capture in still photographs without some planning and a different lighting setup.

The quiet music, and slow build up of the Argentine Tango makes the entire room still and focused on the dancers. Rosalia and Alejandro captured the attention of the audience, bringing them into the performance which can be difficult to do with this dance. The couple dances with their heads very close to each other, without much eye contact or projection outward. But these two had the room with them from the beginning with some shouts and cheers towards the end when the beats moved faster, and the feet flicked quicker!
