Photos – American Star Ball expiring

We have had an especially busy weekend! The DC Area Arthur Murray 2013 Fall Freestyles was a great success for the organizers and the dancers. The studios represented well, and we came away with lots of photos from the dance floor. This week will be spent editing and organizing all the photos so they will be ready to view by next weekend at the proofing site. Currently on the proofing site, the 2013 American Star Ball photos will be expiring tomorrow! After Monday, September 23, 2013, the photos will be removed from the website and put into the archive. There are extra charges to get them out after that, so be sure to visit the website and share them before they are gone! Here is the website where we post all our photos from events that we cover:

Here are some of my favorite photos from the American Star Ball. It was a beautiful venue to photograph dancers, and we thank everyone that visited the website after the event. Thanks for supporting our photography!

We would like to thank Amanda and Ilya Reyzin for inviting us to photograph their event this year. The competition was run smoothly, and there were many enthusiastic dancers on the floor. We know that they run an event that dancers will enjoy, so stay tuned to their website for news on next year’s event. It will be another great weekend of dancing!

These two photos were from the professional competition. As a bit of a crossover from our latest event, these two couples performed professional shows at the end of the Arthur Murray event this weekend. Both are amazing to photograph, and it is a privilege to capture their dancing. We will definitely have more of them on future blog posts!

New Jersey State Open Photos

Last Fall, we photographed the 2012 New Jersey State Open. This event capped a busy October for ballroom dance events. We traveled to the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, NJ. This venue is very nice for these events – a very large ballroom that is close to the hotel lobby, casino, and restaurants. Although it is off the boardwalk, there is still lots of action around the event. Dancers definitely occupy the bulk of the traffic on these weekends. Both the American Star Ball and the New Jersey State Open have been held here the last 2 years, and we enjoy the setup here.

Happily, the organizers have asked us be the official photography vendor for the 2013 event! We are excited about going back to see what new things they have planned. Over our years of covering this event, we have changed venues, and formats, all for the better. Last year, there were some entertaining performances including a rhythm gymnast and juggler that had the really added to the variety flavor of the Saturday evening show.

The updated website recently went live, so the organizers will be ramping up as details are added about the competition held October 24-27, 2013. If you will be there, let me know! I want to be sure to be ready in case you are doing anything specific that you want me to try to get in photos for you. Of course, I will be doing my best to do that all weekend, but it is nice to have the heads up! Here are some of my favorites from last year’s event – enjoy!

It was exciting to learn that a few of our photos from the 2013 American Star Ball appeared in the latest issue of Dance Beat magazine! This is a great resource for the latest in ballroom dance competitions. There are write ups on the competitors, the results, and the overall event after it has taken place.

We were more than happy to provide some of our photos to the organizers to submit along with the article. It is always nice to be published, and I hope to be getting a copy of the issue soon. All the photos from this weekend are still available to view on the proofing website.

Of course, the professional dance competitions were packed with beautiful photos. However, all weekend was full of great dancing. On this occasion, the ballroom was setup very nicely with saturated curtains as a background. It really makes the subjects pop off the page. Here are more of my favorites from the event. Enjoy!
