2013 Sale Ending – American Star Ball

©TimeLine Media - 2013 AMSB - Smooth

Just a quick reminder note today. I wanted to let everyone know of the early bird 2013 sale ending on photo purchases from the American Star Ball. At this time the sale will expire on Monday, June 10, 2013. In summary, the sale is 20% off your entire purchase and includes prints and digital file downloads. In the hope that this will explain further, there are 3 different sizes of digital downloads available. The small download is a good size for email, blog, and Facebook use. As can be seen on this blog, these images are small download size. The medium download can be printed up to 4×6 size at the lab of your choice. And the large download can be printed up to 8×12. Of course having the digital download will help find photos in the future. Since you will have the filename with the download, it will make it easier to find in the archive later. Visit the proofing website to view your photos and printing / download options:

Dance Instructors

“Hold your head up!”

“Smile!”

Ballroom dancing events are displays of color, motion, and hard work. And like other sporting events, dancesport comes with lots of coaching! Dance instructors see your dancing from the beginning to just before you go onto the floor. Sometimes, they are on the floor with you – right in front of you to help you perform your best.

I actually don’t remember these few minutes I was on the dance floor – thank goodness my partner knew what she was doing. Muscle memory just takes over for me, and instructors can get us back on track in case we drift off somewhere in the middle. During the last heat before the break for dinner, I caught these few photos of an instructor shouting encouragement to her students, an amateur couple on the floor.

For me, I can remember people shouting our names and even though I can’t feel my hands or feet, I can get through 2 minutes of dancing in front of the judges and the rest of the audience with a little more confidence. Maybe I don’t remember every piece of advice on posture, foot placement, or cues to lead my partner, but I can get through it, and build a little confidence to go out for another heat.

It is hard to get these in photos with all that’s going on during a competition, but I am sure every dancer knows the experience. The teachers put in so much work to get students ready – and to convince us to get out there. It must be satisfying to see the results!

DC Area Arthur Murray studios

Here are some Spring Freestyles photos for you. The DC Area Arthur Murray studios Summer Showcase is coming up on Saturday June 22, 2013. Of course here are plenty of choreographed routines being polished up right about now. Concurrently we can’t wait to get more photos of your hard work! We have not posted all of our favorites from the Freestyles event earlier this year, so these should get your excited for more dancing. Both events are held at this time at the McLean Hilton in Tysons Corner, VA.

Obviously, the photos will be different in the upcoming event. In case you are not familiar, the Freestyles event has many couples on the floor at the same time. Comparatively, the Showcase has only one dance couple out there. Additionally, they have selected the music for their dance. With the help of their instructors, they create a dance specifically tied to a music selection. Although they are different, they show off different aspects of dancing.
