It’s Arthur Murray Freestyles week! This Friday and Saturday, the DC Area Arthur Murray dance studios will be hosting their first ballroom dance event of 2013 at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner. The event will include two days of dancing as well as a team match pitting Maryland vs. Virginia on Saturday afternoon. These are some of the most unique photos we take in the ballroom! Crazy costumes, people whipped into a frenzy putting on their best moves to claim the Potomac Cup. I will surely have some of these images for you next week as I go through the edits.

Just to update you on the photos at the proofing website, the photos from the 2012 DC Dance Challenge are expiring today. This week, I am editing photos from the 2013 Baltimore DanceSport Challenge, and plan to have these up by Saturday. More updates will be posted either on the blog, or at the Facebook page.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Since there are so many photos going up, coming down, in progress, I know it can be a lot to manage. However, I do have a good handle on where everything is, and will help anyone if they need. Thank you!

Arthur Murray photos

Tysons, Virginia

More photos from the DC Area Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles. This was the first of their 4 local events that we covered last year. It was held at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner, VA. This is a site of many of their events, and overall a great ballroom for photography. Additionally with the available balcony, we have a lot of flexibility in setting up our lights. On balance it is always nice to work at a familiar venue!

As can be seen this room offers a lot of options from photography. With this intention, you need to have different approaches to photos. Especially since you will be there for many hours of a weekend. In order to get a variety of images to keep fresh, it is useful to change your body position, and your angle to the dancers out there. You can go from a low angle, a higher angle, to change the backgrounds in the photos. With the length of the room, it still allows you to blur the backgrounds.

DC Area Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles

Tysons, Virginia

These are photos from the Professional Shows at the end of the Spring Freestyles. The local DC Area Arthur Murray studios put on amazing local events. On this occasion, the surrounding studios get together and give students a great chance to show off their newest skills, and their fanciest costumes! This one was held at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner. Their main ballroom has been my personal proving ground for ballroom dance photography. Additionally it has  provided TimeLine Media with some of its best photos.

Featured in these photos are teachers from the Silver Spring, Tysons Corner, Alexandria, and Gaithersburg studios. These are always the capstone to the Freestyles event. After all the students have danced, competed, and received their awards, they get a chance to see demonstrations of skill by their instructors. The entire floor is for them, the entire room focuses on the floor with everyone pushing their chairs right to the edge, and I place myself in what I hope is the best spot to capture the action! It is a source of pride for each studio to see them dance, and they give us amateurs something to aspire to for the next event.
