That’s Dancing Summer Showcase

Jessup, Maryland

Summer is undoubtedly in full swing in the DC metro area! We are starting to see more hot and humid days after a long winter. This past weekend, I was invited to photograph the Summer Showcase for That’s Dancing Ballroom and Dancesport Center. With regards to their scheduling, it seems like they could not be on more opposite ends of the scale! The last time I photographed their students and staff, we were worried about a winter storm canceling the event altogether. Last Saturday night, though, was a really nice evening, and I moving all my equipment in was much easier than last December!

At this time, the studio was specially decorated for the occasion. As with all their Showcases, they had a theme to tie in all the décor, music, food, and dress for the performers. The theme this time was “Dancing through the Decades”. There were trivia questions about pop music over the years, and popular food stuffs that evolved from Chex Mix to microwavable popcorn. The studio was decorated with nice shimmering backgrounds which created some nice backgrounds for the photos!

Carlos always has his students ready to perform, and I have a great time seeing their new routines! The variety in the dances is fun to see – from newcomers to more experienced dancers, Rhythm, Ballroom, Latin styles, and they usually have a staff formation where larger group performs a dance at one time. The photos have all been edited, and they are uploading to the proofing site now. To access all of them, please click the link below:

Carlos and Marielle always treat their vendors and staff so well! It is no wonder that they have such great events. In addition to these Showcases, they organize the upcoming Northcoast Ballroom Championships and the Baltimore Dancesport Challenge. I hope you enjoy the photos!

That’s Dancing Winter Showcase! This is always an especially nice holiday-themed party and showcase at the Sheraton in Columbia, MD. The weather outside was frightful, but the dancing was so delightful! There was a great variety of dance styles and levels on display this evening, and the instructors were so proud to show off their students and what they have been working on over the past few months.

That’s Dancing also has some new staff to teach their dancers, so we arrived early to get some new headshots for them. Since we already had the background up, anyone that wanted their photo was welcome to step in to the pop-up studio. At this time the photos have all been posted to the proofing website:

Christmas Decorations

If it seems like Christmas is approaching quickly this year, it is!! I have been lucky to be photographing a lot this holiday season, and am really enjoying working so many holiday events. The decorations around the buildings and store have been inspiring for making photos, so I have made the most of the opportunity.

Tree Lights

My mother always decorates a beautiful Christmas tree. She keeps the light all white with many different decorations she has collected over the years. She used to decorate multiple trees, so she has to pick and choose which ones to hang every time it goes up! Some of the ornaments are hand made, some were bought when she first started decorating trees in the 1970’s, and many of them are gifts from family, friends, and former patients. We stopped by for a visit, and she did a nice job again. Enjoy some of the photos!

Last Event

We are shooting one more ballroom dance event for the year, the studio showcase for That’s Dancing in Jessup, MD. It is planned for this evening, and if the weather holds up, it should be a great show! I will work on the photos this week, and when they are completed, you can see them at the usual site for all of our ballroom dance photos:
