Professional Shows

To complete the event, some of the judges from the event danced some shows for us! Arianna Esposito and Gianni Caliandro showed some extraordinary smooth dancing. Quickly covering the entire floor, they showed off speed and technicality in their dancing.

In contrast, Sheena Daminar and Jungie Zamora danced in the Rhythm style for their performances. Although they have judged and performed at this event in previous years, they brought new elements to their dancing. Of course the effortless looking lifts grab the most attention. Moreover the emotion that they convey all throughout their movements set the tone to their music. On one hand, they have an athletic look to their dancing. However, they pair it very well with their musicality. Great shows all around!

Alexandria, Virginia

Last Saturday, we photographed the 2016 DC Dance Challenge. Although we were at a new venue, the Westin Alexandria, the room was excellent for photos! After all the dancing, we edited and sorted the photos by numbers worn by gentlemen. To see all the photos, here is the link:

Thank you to Jennifer Bonini for having us cover her event again this year! Previously we have photographed the DC Dance Challenge in many other venues in the area. In addition to staff from Forever Dancing ballroom, they ran a smooth event. Eventually, we will get a list of the award winners from this event. For instance, Top Bronze Student, Top Studio, etc. Then I will make some nice plaques labeled with the awards and one of their images. Be on the lookout for those soon!

Professional Dance Shows

When it was fresh, I posted about this competition when the photos were released. Held at the impressive Ronald Reagan Building right near the power centers of Washington, DC, makes this an appropriately named competition. At the end of the 2015 DC Dance Challenge, we were treated to performances by two dynamic professional couples.

In addition to judging competition heats during the day, Manuel Trillo and Anna Belyavtseva put on an American-style dance collection of routines. Their sharp lines, and quick movements gave the dancers in the crowd something to aim for as they continue their dance studies.

Additionally Rosalia Gasso and Alejandro Barrientos performed Argentine Tango. As can be seen in their photos, their shows were a showcase of strength and speed. During their shows, Alejandro would do lifts so effortlessly. Whereas small kicks are a staple of Tango, I encourage you to find videos of these two performing. The speed at which they perform these have to be seen live!

Finally, thank you to Jennifer Bonini and the volunteers from Forever Dancing! Even though they had a lot of familiar faces at their competition, they treated everyone like a first time guest. We hope to see you next year!
