2013 Holiday Order Deadlines

©TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray Columbia, MD

The Christmas holiday is quickly approaching! I know that photos are always a popular present for family, teachers, and friends. There are a lot of requests coming in asking if it is too late to order some prints in time for the holidays, so I just want to outline the deadlines for you here. If you are ordering standard prints, the last day to place your order to ensure Christmas delivery is Thursday, December 12 for regular delivery. Express delivery options can still be placed by Wednesday December 18th and delivered by Tuesday, December 24.

Gifts Albums

Another popular gift this time of year are the assembled photo albums, or “Ballroom Brag Books” where you can take a collection of 12 – 20 of your favorite photos and have them printed in a bound book. With all of the photos from this year re-released, this is a perfect time to make an album of your year of dancing! If you have any question about these, please email me: rassi @ timelinedc.com. I have made a number of these recently for Christmas gifts. If you are interested in making one, the deadline to have an approved book finished is Wednesday, December 11 for regular delivery, and Tuesday, December 17th for express delivery. I create a layout of the photos for you to approve before printing, so email me or call me this week to get this started in time for Christmas.

Again, for a lot of ballroom dancers, there is nothing better than a Foxtrot. This show by the Arthur Murray Columbia, MD studio was as smooth as you can be on the floor! It was another demonstration to inspire you to have a stronger, straighter frame, or holding your slow counts, and making it look so natural. Beautiful!

Arthur Murray Gaithersburg – Professional Show

©TimeLine Media - Viennese Waltz by Arthur Murray Gaithersburg, MD

Another beautiful professional show on the blog today. This time, a Viennese Waltz by the Arthur Murray Gaithersburg, MD studio. the Viennese Waltz is one of the most challenging dances involving speed and precision with the footwork while keeping everything smooth and flowing across the floor. It is an awesome dance to photograph when done by experienced dancers. In this performance, the dancers moved easily and added some holds with beautiful lines towards the audience.

The strength to life the lady off the floor – make it look effortless, and for her to make it look like she is floating effortlessly adds to the mood of this dance. It changes from patterns on the floor to more of a story told in movement.

It may seem lucky that I catch the dancers with the best angle for these lines, but it is on purpose that find myself there. I try to be in the best spot to capture performances. Professionals are mindful of the audience position so I try to stay straight along the longest side of the floor. From many previous shows, I have seen how I have missed so many opportunities just by having my camera along the wrong side. I can still make images, but they do not have the same impact. The background are messier, and many times, I can only get one half of the couple on the floor if they are not lined up to me correctly. Now, I use this as a guide to set my lights and camera in the best position to get these! A little pre-planning goes a long way.
