USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships

The TimeLine Media web server was busy this weekend with the Mid-Atlantic Championships phoots. Thanks especially to all of you that have visited! At this time, I was reminded that there is one even expiring this month, the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships. This was a really nice competition of amateur dancers held at the North Bethesda Marriott last February 16-17, 2013. Because it was the first event of the year, we had lots of assistance with us, and we made many photos over the weekend. If you were there, or you know anyone that did attend, please send them the link to the event on our website to see their photos:

All photos are organized by dancer number so it should be easier to find your photos. However, if you need any help, send me an email. Additionally you can give me a call. I have been looking through these for a while now and am familiar with many of the faces on the website. We have two other dances coming up this month, so stay tuned for those photos coming up soon. If you have any other need for photos, let me know!

As with previous years, we caught up with many familiar faces. Being that this competition is close to home, we enjoy seeing the progress these dancers have made. Best of luck at Nationals!

American Star Ball – Rising Star Smooth Final

It’s another editing day in the studio. There are a couple of shoots that I need to go through before the to-do pile gets too large. Continuing the theme from yesterday’s post, I have some photos that I liked from the Professional Rising Star Smooth competition at the American Star Ball. It is a little selfish to enjoy the Smooth competition more than Standard. It is much easier to get both dancer’s faces in photos! Additionally, I am more familiar with smooth figures. With this in mind, I can anticipate the placement of the dancers in my camera.

The challenge of getting Standard dancers is also fun. However, their closed position throughout the heat makes the variety in images more challenging. At this point, the facial expressions become important to distinguish the dances. Perhaps that is just something I think about when photographing from off the dance floor. I do want to keep viewers interested! I’m sure there will be some in a future post very soon. Enjoy!

I am trying to catch up from the long weekend today. Though, I do have lots of photos to work on for orders and other edits. Hopefully, you have recovered from the weekend by the time you read this! Thanks especially to everyone that visited the proofing site looking at the newly released photos from the American Star Ball.  Here are some favorites from the Pro Rising Star Rhythm competition. This was held on Friday evening – starting with a 9 couple Semi-final heat and 6 couple Final.

These were from the semifinal round. At this time, there are more competitors on the floor as the couples are vying for a spot in the finals. Subsequently, the dancers gave their best to impress the judges. They only had a few moments to catch the judges eye for a good score. While photographing this hear, I am more anxious to capture at least some good photos of each couple. The high energy, quick dancing makes it seem even more fleeting when they start dancing. Enjoy!
