Swing Professional Show – Arthur Murray | Ballroom Dance Photographer

Tysons, Virginia

It’s Freestyles week! The final preparations are underway for the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles. We are getting the gear, and photos ready for this Friday where we will be at the McLean Hilton in Tysons Corner, VA. We are in for a great 2 days of dancing, and I know that the studios have been busy getting everyone ready. Today is the last day to vote for the posters that we will display at the event. There is a runaway vote-getter from the Ashburn studio, but there is still time to vote for others that we will display as space allows. You can go to the TimeLine Media Facebook page to vote by Liking your favorites:

Professional Staff Show

On this occasion, these photos are from an energetic, fun Triple Swing show by staff members from two different studios. It does not happen as often, but it is awesome to see the staff sharing their resources and putting combinations together for these. We have seen some great partnerships not only for shows, but for competition by having the staff cross over, and these two matched very well.

Swing dancing is popular not just in the ballroom world, but in social dancing. When you start to formally take dance lessons, this is usually one of the first dances that really gives you confidence as you start to learn figures. It is easier to feel the music, the steps are not as strict, and even the faces on people dancing loosen up a lot more in the Swing as can be seen!

This exhibition takes the Swing to another level. These two are very fast, and have some daring moves thrown in for good measure. I had a great time trying to keep up with all of the movements on the floor, and this resulted in a lot of images to choose from for their poster! Thanks to the Arthur Murray Chevy Chase, MD and Arthur Murray Ashburn, VA studios!

Arthur Murray – Tysons Corner Tango | Dance Photographer

Tysons, Virginia

Less than ten days until the Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles! I am getting excited about going back to photographing ballroom dancing. It has been great to go through the photos from the Summer Showcase as I put up the voting on the TimeLine Media Facebook page. I made posters from each of the 13 shows from the last event as “Superhero” posters. The top vote getters will be displayed at the Summer Showcase in a large print for the winning studios to take with them to display wherever they like. Here is the poster that I selected from this Arthur Murray Tysons Corner show:

Tango Staff Show

This was a fun show and poster – for one, I love the Tango Red worn by the dancers. It was the first professional show for the gentlemen, one the enthusiastic teachers at our studio. From the first time I met him, the Tango has seemed to be one of his favorite dances to perform! For the lady, it would be the last as she moved to a different studio since then. Of course we miss her as a local teacher, but we are happy that we will still see her at the events, and hopefully she will do more shows!

Of course all of them are amazing dancers, but she is a very technical teacher that brings an element of athleticism to her dancing. She encourages more movement and energy from her students which helps them perform better when in front on the judges. Practicing with energy and effort helps to calm the nerves!

That’s Dancing Summer Showcase Sale Ending

I hope all of you had a great July 4 holiday weekend! We had some great weather in the northern Virginia, Washington DC area. Some mild weather which is rare for this time of year really helped to get everyone outside for cookouts and fireworks.

I am still working on photos from a few shoots, but I have to go back to the dance photos from the That’s Dancing Summer Showcase. The early-bird sale on these photos ends tonight! The photos will still be available to view and share online, it is only the special pricing that will change to their regular rates tomorrow.

I know that owners Carlos and Marielle have been very busy getting this event together along with their North Coast Ballroom Championships, so I hope they have recovered from all their hard work! They also organized the Baltimore Dancesport Challenge earlier this year. Just a heads-up for those that attended that competition – the expiration date for those photos is coming soon! The images will be removed in a couple of weeks on July 21, so be sure to get them before they are gone.

The featured dancers for this post are instructors at That’s Dancing. They performed a Jive at their Summer Showcase as part of the staff show at the end of the night. It is always a fast dance that ends the International Latin competitive heats. Moreover, it is a great treat to watch when the dancers really know what to do! It is nice to see their display of skill, and to keep up with them with my camera is a fun challenge. They had some great moments in their dance that the audience enjoyed!
