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!
