That’s Dancing Summer Showcase

Jessup, Maryland

Summer is undoubtedly in full swing in the DC metro area! We are starting to see more hot and humid days after a long winter. This past weekend, I was invited to photograph the Summer Showcase for That’s Dancing Ballroom and Dancesport Center. With regards to their scheduling, it seems like they could not be on more opposite ends of the scale! The last time I photographed their students and staff, we were worried about a winter storm canceling the event altogether. Last Saturday night, though, was a really nice evening, and I moving all my equipment in was much easier than last December!

At this time, the studio was specially decorated for the occasion. As with all their Showcases, they had a theme to tie in all the décor, music, food, and dress for the performers. The theme this time was “Dancing through the Decades”. There were trivia questions about pop music over the years, and popular food stuffs that evolved from Chex Mix to microwavable popcorn. The studio was decorated with nice shimmering backgrounds which created some nice backgrounds for the photos!

Carlos always has his students ready to perform, and I have a great time seeing their new routines! The variety in the dances is fun to see – from newcomers to more experienced dancers, Rhythm, Ballroom, Latin styles, and they usually have a staff formation where larger group performs a dance at one time. The photos have all been edited, and they are uploading to the proofing site now. To access all of them, please click the link below:

Carlos and Marielle always treat their vendors and staff so well! It is no wonder that they have such great events. In addition to these Showcases, they organize the upcoming Northcoast Ballroom Championships and the Baltimore Dancesport Challenge. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Showcases Expiring Today – Dance Photos

That's Dancing Winter Showcase - ©TimeLine Media

It’s been busy they last couple of weeks! We have events going up, and some expiring, so I am shooting images all over the Internet – some off the website, some to labs for printing, and lots to you to share on your social networks. Glad to see so many people enjoying their photos! Unfortunately, we cannot keep the photos on the website forever – they just take up too much room! Two events that are on the website are expiring today – Arthur Murray Fall Showcase and the That’s Dancing Winter Showcase both from late 2013.

After tonight, these two events will be removed from the website and placed into the archives. It is an extra charge to get them out, so visit today to share and purchase your images before they are moved to make more room on the server. We closed out a full 2013 with some great images!

The Showcases are more intense for us to cover. We know how hard it is to put together a choreographed routine to your music. Weeks of lessons to learn and refine your best figures and lines is a commitment of physical and mental energy! From the photography side, we do not want to let you down by missing your performance or any of its special moments. Because you put so much effort into the preparation, we want to make sure you have some photos to remember your time in the spotlight.

Speaking of which, I know there is another group of dancers getting ready right now for the next Showcases. We have them on the schedule coming up, so practice hard! I will do my best to make sure we are ready from behind the camera.

Waltz Showcase – Smooth Professional Show

Today’s photos are from the last show not yet featured from the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Showcase. If I forgot any of them, I would not be able to keep my reputation. Moreover, I would probably hear about it from the studios! Since the next Arthur Murray even that we are scheduled to cover is this upcoming weekend, I need to post this quick! This show was a beautiful Waltz by the Chevy Chase, Maryland studio.

Tavia and Austin have performed many shows over the years, and I have enjoyed the photos I get from all of them. Whether rhythm or smooth, these two capture the audience attention and hold them for their performances. The music chosen was the haunting “My Love” by Sia.

The pairing of this song with their dancing was amazing. This was one time I wish I could share a video of the dance along with the photos as in this instance, I wish I could have produce both moving and still pictures of this show. Like the music lyrics, the dance seems to have many meanings depending on interpretation of the viewer or listener. However you see the meaning, the dancers hushed the audience, and you could feel the quiet parts of the music as no one wanted to make a sound until they were sure that the piece was completed. It was a compliment to their work in preparing this show, and hope to see more from them at future events.
