The photos from last weekend’s 2017 River City Ballroom Dance Competition are available at the TimeLine Media proofing site! It has already been a year since the last time we went south for our annual visit. Veronica and Lee have a beautiful studio in Richmond, Virginia. Their event was held there on Saturday. I have edited and sorted the photos by leader’s number. Here is the link to the 4000+ photos from the event:

Although we have been covering their event for years, this is the first time we have been to their studio! While they have one large practice ballroom at the entrance, they recently expanded. During the event, this was a perfect check-in and getting-ready area for the competition. Following the start of the competition, their larger ballroom was transformed. That is this part had the music director, emcee, judges, and a large dance space. Photographing here was a good experience owing to the fact that they were accommodating. Moreover since this was their space, the organizers were flexible with the setup. With this in mind, I setup 3 strobes around the room.

From youth dancers, college-age students, to seasoned dance enthusiasts, there was a large range of participants in this competition. Seeing that so many of this diverse group came together to dance was inspiring! Undeniably this is a goal for organizers Lee and Veronica. Because of their outreach efforts to other studios, they have grown this competition over the last few years. Given that they know how to run a smooth competition, it is easy to see how they continue to keep this tradition going!

Whenever we get the invitation from Veronica to attend their event, we get happy to start the ballroom dance year. As can be seen in some of these photos, the ballroom was very full this year! Certainly Veronica, Lee and the Simply Ballroom studio has been working hard to grow their event. Seeing that new faces attend along with consistent attendees is encouraging! Without a doubt they are increasing the awareness of partner dancing. With this purpose in mind, they are expanding their influence and elevating dancing in the Richmond area.
