The only thing that will change is the pricing for orders. All the photos are organized by studio. We did our best to organize them correctly, but if there are any errors, please let me know.Below are some of my favorite images from the professional show by the Chevy Chase, MD studio. Enjoy!

In reviewing the photos from the pro shows, I got lucky in my lighting setup. At this time, the curtains from the wall mirrors were open. On account of the direct reflection from my flashes, I usually do not like to have them open. Because of the flare from the lights, I know that I will have to throw some images away. Thankfully, I did not have to do it because of my low angle from the floor! Check out the site to see the other images from this show.

When the DC area Arthur Murray studios get together for their Freestyles events, the part that gets the most participation from everyone there has to be the Potomac Cup team match. This pits all the studios from Maryland against the studios from Virginia in a one-dance competition between amateur dancers from different studios. They all compete at their level, so a Bronze student will dance with another Bronze student, etc. And each level will also have a dance selected by the organizers which is not known until just before the music starts. The participation from the others that are not dancing in the competition, the studios will choose a theme to represent their side of the river. For Maryland, the theme was Harry Potter, for Virginia, the theme was 80’s heavy metal hair bands. This is obviously one of those times where pictures speak louder than words!

Viennese Waltz Professional Show – Tech Thursday

Photographing professional dancers on the floor is a privilege! Being an amateur ballroom dancer, I appreciate the work that is put into these shows. From a strictly technical standpoint, I admire the ease with which dancers can move so quickly across the floor together not missing a step especially with EVERYONE at the event watching. This is also a targeted audience – they all have an interest and knowledge in dancing, and many are colleagues and mentors that coach and cheer on each other.

This post focuses on the Viennese Waltz show performed by the Arthur Murray studio of Silver Spring, MD. There was someone that made a great video of the performance. At this time, I am following all of these with my eye to the viewfinder. Due to the nature of photography I miss parts of these because of the job I am there to do. I am grateful to those that take the time to create and post these so I can see them later. I can compare how the photos represent the same scene very differently. The photos create more dimension with lighting, and colors can be saturated with the flash. With the video, you see the movement of the dancers, the music echoing in the room, the audience reaction to the performance. Here are some of my favorites from the show along with the time markers on the video where the images were captured. Thanks to K Vidal for posting!
