Last Saturday, we photographed the 2015 That’s Dancing Winter Showcase in Columbia, Maryland. Marielle and Carlos hosted their dancers and their friends for the entire evening with dinner and dancing. In order to see the photos from the event, you can click this link below:

This time, they had a beautiful holiday-theme red curtain as a background. At first I was not sure if this would work for the photos. Given that is becomes much brighter in my strobe flashes, I thought it would be too similar to the dancers. However, I think it worked nicely!

Overall, red is a color that pops from digital camera sensors. Although that is usually a good thing, I was worried it would overwhelm here. However, I think it worked very well! Being that it was the holidays, the red fit the event theme, and it was a complimentary background to many of the dresses. Thanks to Marielle and Carlos for inviting us this year!

Student Showcase

Last June, I went to Jessup, Maryland to cover the That’s Dancing 2015 Summer Showcase. Marielle and Carlos Pabon have a friendly studio that is supportive of their dancers. In contrast to their Winter Showcase which is at a hotel in Columbia, this event is held at their studio. However, the show is just as entertaining, and the effort put into the performances are not any less fun! To see photos from the show, you can see them at this link:

Staff Showcase

For the last of the 3 acts of the Showcase, the staff of That’s Dancing performs for the audience. Now that they have completed their own performances for the evening, the students are more relaxed to see the grand finale. Especially since they are fresh off of high of dancing in front of their friends and family, they are ready to be inspired by their teachers displaying their skills.

It was a lovely evening to cover the That’s Dancing 2015 Summer Showcase! With attention to keeping a theme for the entire evening, they do a nice job threading the music and routines together. Especially since we cover many dance events, it is nice to hear different music selections, and I keep my phone handy to tag them for practice later! I hope to see the staff and their students at their next showcase soon.

That’s Dancing Ballroom and Dancesport Center in Jessup, Maryland has an awesome staff that goes to great lengths to give a great experience to their students. This shows in the support they get from their students, and the friends of their studio that come to see their Showcases. I enjoy the effort they put into turning a hotel ballroom into a proper venue for dance performances.

Marielle weaves together a theme throughout each Showcase. Sometimes there will be trivia questions between numbers along that theme. It is a clever way to give time for costume and shoe changes. And it keeps the audience paying attention to what they are watching. It has them perked up to see what the next set of dancers will show them.

These photos are from the final act of the night where the staff and the professional dancers that teach at the studio perform for everyone. It gives inspiration to everyone watching to continue dancing! I’m sure they come back from the Showcases with ideas for their next performance. Even the judges will get in on the dancing.

Professional Shows

These photos were from 2014, and I need to make some room on the server for new events. On Monday, they will be moved from the TimeLine Media proofing site, and will be sent to the archives. This will be your last chance to see and purchase photos from this event, so please send the link to anyone that may like to see the photos. Thanks to Marielle and Carlos for having me cover their Showcase again this holiday season!
