DC Dance Challenge | Dancesport Photographer

Washington, DC

This must be the season for ballroom dancing. We just finished one big event, but we have a couple more right around the corner! On October 5, we are going to be in downtown Washington, DC for the DC Dance Challenge. We always enjoy covering this event because of the great dancing, and of course the familiar faces! It is great to connect with so many local dance enthusiasts and professionals.

The venues that the organizers choose for this event has always been great for photos! In previous years, the Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo served as the backdrop, but they have switched to the beautiful Atrium Ballroom at the Ronald Reagan Building. If you have driven around the large Federal buildings in DC, you no doubt have seen this imposing structure in the Federal Triangle area. Right off the main atrium of the building is the large ballroom that is perfect for holding dancesport events. We had a great time shooting in the space that held a great showcase for the dancers and their talents.

Looking at the website for this year’s competition, it looks like it will be another great event! In the evening, they have some great professional shows where there are lots of exciting photos to be made. My favorite from the day is the Dancing with the DC Stars Showcase competition where the dancers get to hear directly from the judges right after their performance, and with the audience watching. There is a lot of nervous tension in the air, but it really pushed the dancers to do their best, and the audience gets a great show! If you are in the area in a few weekends, try and make it – the organizers and attendees are some of the friendliest around, and you will enjoy a great showcase.

Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles Uploading | Dancesport Photographer

It has been a busy week with lots of photos to process, but we are in the home stretch! All of the photo editing from the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles has been completed, and the files are now uploading to the website. There are close to 6500 photos from last weekend, so it will likely take until later this afternoon/evening until the photos are ready to view. If you would like to know the instant that they are ready to view, you can subscribe to the email list at the bottom of the page, or you can Like TimeLine Media at the Facebook page. All updates on the photos will be posted to your wall. You can also add your name to the email list by going to the proofing page:

When you click on the placeholder for the Fall Freestyles, you can add your email address there. I will send out a notice to the list once the images are ready to view. I promise not to send updates there more than 3 times a month!

Going through the photos was a lot of fun – so many great images! As a team, we did have a lot to overcome over the two days. We had some setbacks and triumphs, but in the end, we delivered a great collection from event. If you were there, you know that we have a new tablet system for previewing the photos. Of course we had issues getting a new process in place to have them up, but we are hoping it will be even better in the future as we iron out the bugs. I hope that you visit the proofing page later today to see all the photos, and I hope that you share and enjoy them with your dance instructors, friends, and a family. See you at the next one!

Foxtrot Professional Show | Dance Photographer

Runaway winners of the poster contest was this image from the Arthur Murray – Ashburn, VA studio:

It received close to 60 votes at the TimeLine Media Facebook page! It was great to see so many people sharing and liking the photo. I confess that was one of my favorite posters too. It was a fun show, and the dancers did a beautiful job with the performance. In addition, my eyes really like the light green color splash from her dress, and his tie. Matching their color to the title for the poster really made it pop out from the rest for me.

The Foxtrot is always one of the smoothest of the smooth dances. The two of them display this walking feel in the images. Their knees are bent, with them staying low through the dance. It easy to differentiate these images from the Tango with its harder, straightened knees, and obvious holds in movement. These two really made the dance look like it flowed from one part of the floor to the next even out of the dip in the poster! To see all the photos from this show, they are still available at the proofing website:

Foxtrot Professional Show

Just as with all the staff members in the posters, these shows were performed after a full day of dancing with their students! They will gather again this weekend to do more at the Fall Freestyles. I will definitely have more photos to share with you on the blog after then. If you have any suggestions as to what to do for the next round of posters, let me know! I have a few ideas, but nothing is set yet. It may depend on how the shows and photos from those turn out. Thanks again to the Arthur Murray studios of the DC Area for having us cover their events again this year!
