As promised, here are photos from Columbia, MD professional show from the Arthur Murray Summer Showcase. The sale just ended on these photos at the proofing website, but they are still available to view and share. I want to let everyone that came to view and purchase photos that I appreciate your support of our photography. We put a lot of effort to create the best ballroom dance images, and post the thousands of images for you to find! Thanks for keeping the servers running with your orders. We are always thinking of better ways to bring these images to you, and give you options for your photos, and I will be posting more about those options in the coming weeks. The labs that print these images have lots of sales in the summer months, and I’ll pass them along to you. Stay tuned!

The images in the post today are from the Viennese Waltz professional show by the Columbia, Maryland studio. The Viennese Waltz is a challenging dance especially on a crowded dance floor. It differs from the regular, slow waltz, by having more speed and rotation in the steps. It is a beautiful dance when the dancers know what they are doing, and that is what these two displayed for the audience. They had beautiful dance lines, extensions in their frame, and they make it look effortless!

Arthur Murray – Gaithersburg professional show

Tysons, Virginia

Today’s post is from the Arthur Murray 2013 Summer Showcase. These photos were from the professional show by the Gaithersburg studio. As long as we have been attending DC area dance events, we have seen Jonathan on the dance floor. Whenever he is out there, I am inspired by his dancing. As can be seen, he has incredible balance, and control of his movement. On this occasion, the dance was a Bolero. Overall, it was an athletic performance with lots of lifts and dips to excite the crowd.

Gaithersburg Pro Show

I love this photo showing the enthusiastic supporters from Gaithersburg screaming for their instructors, and ready with their cameras! This was the second performance from their studio at this event, and they should be proud of the reception they received from the audience. Even though the crowd is so close to the dance floor, I do not consider them as much when concentrating on the performers. So in any photo if you catch a nice crowd reaction, it was likely a happy accident. We can’t wait to see what they come up with for the next event!

Arthur Murray – Columbia

I was looking through the photos from another Arthur Murray Showcase to post on the blog today. This one was  a show that you really need to be on your game! These dancers were from the Columbia, Maryland studio. They performed a Cha Cha show to a remix of “2 Legit 2 Quit”. Nothing really fancy in shooting this. Just keep the focus on the dancers, and quickly fire the shutter if you can see one or both of their faces.

This was not an easy task as these two have some of the quickest moves! Overall, I had to work to capture these two in camera. Their quickness, and sharp moves were really exciting for the crowd to watch,. I was able to get a few of them on the sensor. To see the photos from this show and all the others from the Showcase, you can go to the proofing website:

Having a combination of colors is important to dancers when coordinating their shows. At this time, these two really tied in a theme to the music – Michael Jackson’s ‘Black or White’. They captured the energy, and sharp dancing that you have in your mind’s eye when you hear a Michael Jackson track!
