Rumba Professional Show – Arthur Murray

Tysons Corner, VA

Back to some dancing! Featured today is a professional show by the Arthur Murray – Tysons Corner, Virginia studio. At the Fall Showcase event, Carlos and Lauren closed out the day by performing this lovely Rumba.

This was a smooth routine to Robin Thicke’s “Teach U a Lesson”. My wife photographed the video above, which gives me a chance to actually enjoy the routines! I can see the spots where I could have taken more photos of the show. Why didn’t I take them? Maybe I was not going to chase the photo, maybe the angle was not as good from the part of the floor where I was standing.

Rumba Showcase

Sometimes, though, I gauge the vibe of the room, and it changes how I shoot. When the routines are high energy, and the crowd is readily whooping and encouraging the dancers, I feel very free to join in, throw the shutter, and let the flashes go. In this routine, the dancers really had the room’s attention in a more intense and concentrated feel. Part of it is the choice of music. This R&B groove seems like it has been pulled from a darkened lounge, where the dancers are not performing for an audience. They are dancing as though they are in a more intimate setting where they are not trying to draw attention to themselves, so the audience responds in a similar way – keeping their applause and noise to a minimum. I feel that, and try not to interrupt that with noises from my camera.

I was still able to get some cool photos from their show! The feel from this was seen again when they performed this during our studio’s weekly party. The feel was much the same from the dancers and the audience there too!

Arthur Murray – Back to School Dance

Thursday night parties at the Arthur Murray studio in Tysons Corner is one of the busiest nights on the dance floor! There are group classes just before the party to give students new figures, or to review old figures before they go on their own to practice. With the really nice weather we have been having, it was nice to get outside for an evening before it gets too cold! The staff put together a nice party for everyone just outside the studio this evening. They put a speaker outside, provided some food and drink, then got everyone to dance as usual.

The area around the studio has been hopping with new activity. Tysons West right across the street, new restaurants opening, and the Metro Silver Line in full testing for next year’s opening, means that there is a lot to do! The dancing created a lot of attention, and some of the people passing by jumped in when invited to dance!

The energy and loudness of the music outside made it perfect for some line dancing!
