USA Dance Mid Atlantic Championships – Smooth/Standard

USA Dance Mid Atlantic Championships

Some photos posted from the Smooth & Standard heats from the USA Dance Mid Atlantic Championships. These photos specifically were made at the 2011 event held at the Bethesda North Mariott Conference Center. At this time, it will be the site of the event again. For the most part, it is a great venue to hold this event – lots of space for dancers and spectators. As I have noted other photos from this event on previous blog posts here. We are excited to be going back in light of both the participants and the venue.

UPDATE – Now that the photos from this event have been uploaded please visit the proofing site! It was a long weekend, and the dancers showed off their talents out there. If you have any trouble finding your images, please reach out! On account of the large number of images, I am sure there were some mistakes. Additionally, it may be difficult to find your photos in all the folders. Thank you!

American Star Ball

On this occasion, I wanted to post more of my favorite ballroom dancing photos. These were at the American Star Ball held at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, NJ. Comparatively, this is a beautiful ballroom for dancing. In fact, this is likely the longest ballroom that I cover. With this in mind, you can really separate the dancers from the background.

Additionally, this room has a tall ceiling. Similarly to the aspects of the long room, a tall ceiling will also blur a background when the dancers are closer to my position. As can be seen in the photo above, the ceiling elements are nicely blurred. The theater lighting, the chandeliers, and the cloth added to the ceiling do not distract from the dancer forms.

While working on updating my marketing materials, this photo above was chosen to be printed. Being that this is the American Star Ball, the predominant Red, and Blue tones in the dresses matched appropriately. This year’s event will be May 17 – 19, 2013. Check out other photos from the event from this previous post. Have a great weekend!

UPenn Classic

2013 UPenn Classic

We are finalizing our plans for the first ballroom dance event for TimeLine Media this year. We are returning to cover the event for the Penn Latin and Ballroom Dance at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. This is an event that we first covered in 2009 when we were very new to photographing ballroom dance. Like us, it has changed and grown, and we look forward to this year’s event!

The last times we covered this event, there was so much energy in the room from all the dancers! With many college team in attendance, there were many friends cheering on their teammates. There were also some flags in the crowd to represent the sections from each school which makes the event unique compared to most others that we cover.

Venue

It will be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, a venue which we have not been to previously. I hope to get in there early to get setup lights, and get an idea of where we can position to get the best photos. My style has changed much since the first time we went up to cover the event, but I’m interested to see how things have changed for me – both in lighting, and in composing photographs. I did use images from this event for a long time in my portfolio, and I hope to get more this year.

Event Details

With a full day of dancing scheduled, I’m estimating between 6000 and 9000 photos which will take about a week to process. Hopefully I can still post some blog posts during that time! To keep up with details as the competition approaches, you can follow the competition on Twitter – @UPennClassic13

After I finish editing the photos from the event, I will post them to the proofing site where I put all my other ballroom dance events-  http://proofs.timelinedc.com
