Student Routines

In addition to school figures, dancing should incorporate some unique personality. Of course a technical standard is needed as a baseline. However, no two people move exactly the same way! By comparison Showcase routines show off both aspects.

Firstly, the students will work on choreography. Above all, you have to be able to dance confidently! Secondly, music will set the tone for their routine. Lastly, costumes will finish the ensemble.

Christmas in July at Tysons Corner Center

The Plaza at Tysons Corner Center during the holidays

Let’s celebrate Christmas in July! I am clearing out my photos from my computer and I came across these from the complete opposite end of the calendar. Even though we are in the middle of the summer concert season at the mall, the holidays are the most colorful and may have even more visitors than summer days.

One of the largest differences in these two times is the shortness of the days. The early sunset really makes it easy to get some blue-hour photos of the center. Blue hour is what photographers use to describe the time after the sun has set in the horizon, and the approximately the next hour. During this time there is still plenty of light in the sky and it is usually a beautiful blue color especially in the winter. This makes for a beautiful backdrop for holiday lights.

But the cold is perfect to keeping the ice in the rink ready for skaters!

And of course, we cannot forget about Santa Claus! He is one of the hardest working people at the mall during the season. He has the traditional portrait sittings at his set in Fashion Court, but he also has several other appearances over the two months leading up to Christmas. He has the Santa Breakfast, along with meet and greets throughout the center. I love to see the reactions to Santa whether young or old, and it always makes for a great photo.

Karl Alzner at Tysons Corner Center

NHL Player

Back in February, I covered and appearance by Karl Alzner at Tysons Corner Center. He is a defenseman for the Washington Capitals. If you are not familiar, the Capitals are the professional hockey team based in Washington DC, and Alzner has been a standout player for the team since he joined them in 2008.

Of all the professional sports teams in the DC area, it is a popular opinion that the Capitals are the team that is closest to winning a Championship. Although the did not make the playoffs in 2014, they have made it every year since 2008 reaching the conference semi-finals 3 times. It is a popular chant in the arena to ‘Rock The Red’ so the Concourse at Tysons Corner Center was decked out with red.

Karl greeted a lot of fans young and old. He signed autographs for a line of people that came prepared with memorabilia, shirts, pucks, for him to add his signature. While he was there, and they had the gear, he watched people take some shots at an inflatable goal setup. He gave tips to help some people make better shots through the back of the net. He was very patient and took a lot of time with those that came out to see him.

There were other notable people that were in attendance. Grant Paulsen from 106.7 the Fan radio station was there to emcee the event. Being a host of a daily sports radio show made him a perfect person to keep the crowd entertained. Slapshot, the Eagle mascot of the Capitals was also there! He even put on some skate to take a few turn around the ice rink out on the Plaza!
