DC Dance Challenge – Venue

We are back from photographing the DC Dance Challenge yesterday. It was an amazing feat by the organizers to find a new venue to hold the event in only 3 days! With the continuing government shutdown, the originally planned venue of the Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo was not available for use. Jennifer and Fabio quickly acted to keep the event on schedule as planned, and they pulled it off perfectly! The Atrium Ballroom in the Ronald Reagan Building was an amazing space to hold this ballroom dance event.

I made lots of photos of the setting, the food, and the setup which works really well for these types of events. There was a ante-room before entering the ballroom which was setup as a practice floor and vendor area. We setup our booth there so that dancers could view their photos on iPads just outside the ballroom.

The full Dance Jam Productions floor was really liked by dancers. We see their work at a number of dancesport competitions, and this was no exception. The building also has a catering department which provided lunch and dinner for attendees in the ballroom. This was very convenient, and made the event run more smoothly. I will post more from the event, but I have to get back to editing the dancing photos for viewing this weekend!

Dance Event today – DC Dance Challenge

Just a quick post today as we are going to be photographing the DC Dance Challenge today in the Atrium Ballroom of the Ronald Reagan Building. This is a new venue for us in the heart of downtown Washington, DC. It will be a new setup and arrangement for us and the organizers of the event who originally scheduled this at the Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo. With the federal government shutdown, a new venue was needed. Luckily, this is another top of the line space in the area for ballroom dancing. We wish luck on all the dancers today! By next Saturday, we will have the photos posted to the proofing website for viewing. You can leave you email address here to be notified as soon as they are completed with their upload, and are ready to view:

Venue Moved – DC Dance Challenge

©TimeLine Media - DC Dance Challenge

Facts of life around DC have been challenging this last week. The government shutdown has drastically changed the way our area is looking, and there are many changes to daily life that is taking some adjustment. The Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park is run by the National Park Service. Without a federal budget, this park is closed, and no activities are able to go on at the site.

Downtown Washington, DC

So tomorrow’s DC Dance Challenge has moved to the Atrium Ballroom at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in downtown DC! This is a beautiful newer building built in the federal style to match the many government buildings in the immediate surrounding area. We are thankful that the organizers were able to arrange such a great venue in short notice! We are excited to shoot a ballroom dance event there for the first time, and of course, we’ll have the photos of the moved venue here on the blog.

The photos will definitely look different from the unique architecture and dance floor of the Spanish Ballroom, but we’ll do our best to make it look just as good in the photos. There is a lot of excitement about the competition this year, and the entries are always going up. We look forward to seeing more familiar faces on the dance floor tomorrow!
