River City Ballroom Dance Competition

Here are more photos from the River City Ballroom Dance competition. These are from the Professional Showcase that ended a full day of competition. Eduardo Torres and Cristina Acevedo gave a beautiful demonstration of their American Rhythm dances for the attendees at this time. As can be seen, a previous blog post has more photos. It is important to realize that this year’s event will be at the Greater Richmond Convention Center in downtown Richmond, VA on March 23, 2013.

From the photography of this show, the lower angle really showed off these dancers height. Additionally they really stretched each of their lines nicely! Their lines emphatically showed their strength as athletes. In short, I think this is a goal for a photographer. Hero shots need to make your subject look authoritative, in command, and larger than life. Above all, this should be what you are looking to make through the camera. I don’t think this can be done from eye-level, or above your subject. Give it a try the next time you are on a shoot!

River City Ballroom Dance competition

Earlier this year, I photographed the River City Ballroom Dance competition in Richmond, VA for the second time. It is organized by Veronica and Lee at Simply Ballroom. On this occasion, it was held again at the Greater Richmond Convention Center conveniently located downtown. From there you have easy access to hotels, and restaurants. Moreover, there is plenty of room on the dance floor! The number of dancers doubled this year. With this in mind, there was plenty of opportunity for practice and comments from judges and other participants.

Prior to the start of the competition, we had a chance to catch up with familiiar friends. While some are from our home base in northern Virginia, some are local to Richmond. Especially the dancers from the host studio of Simply Ballroom. Veronica and Lee involve many of their students in the event. They are amazing hosts, and we look forward to our next trip south!
