DC Area Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles

Tysons, Virginia

These are photos from the Professional Shows at the end of the Spring Freestyles. The local DC Area Arthur Murray studios put on amazing local events. On this occasion, the surrounding studios get together and give students a great chance to show off their newest skills, and their fanciest costumes! This one was held at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner. Their main ballroom has been my personal proving ground for ballroom dance photography. Additionally it has provided TimeLine Media with some of its best photos.

Arthur Murray Pro Shows

Featured in these photos are teachers from the Silver Spring, Tysons Corner, Alexandria, and Gaithersburg studios. These are always the capstone to the Freestyles event. After all the students have danced, competed, and received their awards, they get a chance to see demonstrations of skill by their instructors. The entire floor is for them, the entire room focuses on the floor with everyone pushing their chairs right to the edge, and I place myself in what I hope is the best spot to capture the action! It is a source of pride for each studio to see them dance, and they give us amateurs something to aspire to for the next event.

This is one of my favorite ballroom dance photos turned to black and white.

Washington DC celebration dinner

Last Saturday, I was privileged to photograph a family celebration dinner for a Bar Mitzvah at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, DC. At this time the event was a gathering of family and friends on a beautiful evening in our nation’s capital. The event was planned by Kelley at Carte Blanche Events. Also, Dick Steiner provided the entertainment for all the guests in attendance. Both Kelley and Dave from the Four Seasons were very helpful in making the evening run smoothly. Additionally. they helped me to get some great images of the family, the events, and the food!

On this occasion, the desserts really capped off a great night! A deconstructed smore served on dishes, and a “Hammer Time” table created by Dave brought a fun and unique way to get your last bit of chocolate, sweet, and nutty treats in a take-home bag. Lots of fun to break up and eat!!

2009 Ballroom Dance

Dancing at an Arthur Murray Showcase event in Tysons, VA

It was an amazing photography year for me on the ballroom dance floor! I was able to go to exotic places (Philadelphia) to familiar venues to capture the most dynamic, and best images so far. The last event of the year was the Arthur Murray Fall Showcase. For the last event, we got some great help from behind the camera, so we could actually step out on the floor ourselves. It was nerve-racking, and scary to get back out there, but we had a great time. Plus we had some great shots of us as a bonus! Thanks to everyone who helped us setup and photograph these events, and of course, thanks to everyone who has supported my little enterprise by purchasing pictures. I can’t wait to see everyone again in 2010!
