2 Days Until Fall Freestyles

Tysons, Virginia

It is only 2 days until the Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles. This Friday and Saturday in Tysons Corner, Arthur Murray studios from around the region will bring their staff and students to show off their new moves on the dance floor. We are going to be there to photograph all the dancing on both days. After the event, we will edit the photos, then post them to our proofing website. That is where we post all the photos from our events. If you would like to be notified as soon as the photos are ready to view, you can go here and sign up for the email list:

I will send out a note to everyone on the list there as soon as they photos are viewable. It is a lot of work after the event to get them up, so it does take a good week to complete. I will go through each of the photos, crop them down so you can really see the subject, fix and color or exposure problems, then we sort each of the photos by studio. This helps to find your photos after the event. It can be difficult to find when photos are only sorted by time of dancing, so we do this extra step to make it easier and fun to find your images. You will be viewing photos of people at your studio instead of random people that were dancing with you at the same time.

Potomac Cup

One of our favorite things to photograph is the Potomac Cup Team Match. The schools from Maryland and Virginia pick a theme to represent their side of the river. Then dancers from each level are paired up from different schools, and dance to a song and danced picked as they are ready to dance. These are unique images that I know we cannot get anywhere else! Contact the studios if you would like to get access to watch any of the dancing this weekend. There is a balcony overlooking the dance floor so come by!

Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles week

Tysons, Virginia

There is lots to do before the Fall Freestyles this Friday! On this occasion, the Arthur Murray event will be this Friday and Saturday at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons, VA. As the official photographer for the event, I am busy making some photo prints and cards to show off examples of our work at the event. We like to show off our photos as much as the dancers like to show off their skills, so I choose some of my favorite images from the professional shows at the last event to showcase our work. Here is one of the event cards I made. The cards all have images on the front, with information on the back that tells dancers where to find their photos after the event.

I will have 3 cards there as well as posters from the other shows that were performed at the Summer Showcase. If you want to see all the cards and the posters, please come by the event! Contact the studios at http://www.arthurmurraydc.com if you want to observe the event from the mezzanine balcony.

Photo Posters

The photo posters I am printing are 20 x 30 inches in size. This is my favorite large print size for many reason. For one, it is very large! Just like shopping for speakers or audio equipment where louder is better, photos seem to look better LARGER! Plus the format of the image is 4×6 just like the native format out of the camera. This means that not too much cropping or changes need to be made from the original file so it makes deciding on which files to print much easier. Please come by to see them! It is much different to look at a large print, than to view these tiny images on my blog in comparison.

Arthur Murray – Fall Freestyles next week

©TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles

It is less than a week until we get back to ballroom dancing! This upcoming Friday and Saturday is the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles event being held at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner, VA. Overall, we are excited to get back to the dance floor after the summer break. There has been a lot of dancing during that time, and we want to make more of our photos to go along with the dancing. When we first stepped into the ballroom world, the Fall Freestyles was the first ballroom dance event we attended. Of course, it can be intimidating if you have never been a part of the scene! There are sparkling, beautiful dresses around the hotel; ladies have makeup and jewels to catch the lights and eyes of the judges; and the loud music gets the audience to cheer on their fellow students and instructors.

We are also going back to a venue that we used to frequent more often. Although it is familiar, the Sheraton in Tysons Corner has undergone a lot of renovations. Not only the guestroom, but the ballroom and reception areas have also changed. We will try to take advantage of the nice balcony that they still have to get overhead views of the event. If you have friends or would like to come to view the event from the mezzanine balcony, contact one of the DC Area Studios. They will gladly give you details on the availability and cost for a seat up there. Not only will you be able to cheer on your friends, but you will have a nice vantage of this fun event. See you next weekend!
