Arthur Murray – Professional Formation

Copyright TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray Professional Formation

Busy Sunday today! Someone on the email list informed me that I forgot to post photos from the professional formation from the last Arthur Murray DC event. So sorry! Of course, I did not mean to leave them off my blogging list. It was on there, however just waiting its turn. And here they are! These are my favorite photos from the Salsa professional dance formation. It was performed by the Gaithersburg and Silver Spring studios. The team performed the dance so smoothly – transitioning between partners, forming lines, circles, all while

Overall it is a lot to take in when photographing formation groups. Especially with the staff performing at a professional level, there is a lot to attempt to capture. Of course they have the dance figures, but they have the added element of their body position to other couples. With this in mind, I don’t think I have a good strategy for photographing this aspect. I do love having the chance to try!

Arthur Murray – Gaithersburg professional show

Tysons, Virginia

Today’s post is from the Arthur Murray 2013 Summer Showcase. These photos were from the professional show by the Gaithersburg studio. As long as we have been attending DC area dance events, we have seen Jonathan on the dance floor. Whenever he is out there, I am inspired by his dancing. As can be seen, he has incredible balance, and control of his movement. On this occasion, the dance was a Bolero. Overall, it was an athletic performance with lots of lifts and dips to excite the crowd.

Gaithersburg Pro Show

I love this photo showing the enthusiastic supporters from Gaithersburg screaming for their instructors, and ready with their cameras! This was the second performance from their studio at this event, and they should be proud of the reception they received from the audience. Even though the crowd is so close to the dance floor, I do not consider them as much when concentrating on the performers. So in any photo if you catch a nice crowd reaction, it was likely a happy accident. We can’t wait to see what they come up with for the next event!

I am trying to catch up from the long weekend today. Though, I do have lots of photos to work on for orders and other edits. Hopefully, you have recovered from the weekend by the time you read this! Thanks especially to everyone that visited the proofing site looking at the newly released photos from the American Star Ball.  Here are some favorites from the Pro Rising Star Rhythm competition. This was held on Friday evening – starting with a 9 couple Semi-final heat and 6 couple Final.

These were from the semifinal round. At this time, there are more competitors on the floor as the couples are vying for a spot in the finals. Subsequently, the dancers gave their best to impress the judges. They only had a few moments to catch the judges eye for a good score. While photographing this hear, I am more anxious to capture at least some good photos of each couple. The high energy, quick dancing makes it seem even more fleeting when they start dancing. Enjoy!
