Spring Freestyles Favorites

DC Area Arthur Murray studios

Here are some Spring Freestyles photos for you. The DC Area Arthur Murray studios Summer Showcase is coming up on Saturday June 22, 2013. Of course here are plenty of choreographed routines being polished up right about now. Concurrently we can’t wait to get more photos of your hard work! We have not posted all of our favorites from the Freestyles event earlier this year, so these should get your excited for more dancing. Both events are held at this time at the McLean Hilton in Tysons Corner, VA.

Obviously, the photos will be different in the upcoming event. In case you are not familiar, the Freestyles event has many couples on the floor at the same time. Comparatively, the Showcase has only one dance couple out there. Additionally, they have selected the music for their dance. With the help of their instructors, they create a dance specifically tied to a music selection. Although they are different, they show off different aspects of dancing.

This May 13 is an anniversary for me and my dance partner. We “danced” for the first at my senior high school prom on this day more than a few years ago. There have been many changes since then, but we are still dancing together. We are MUCH better dancers now, but we could always use more practice. I think we’ll have to go to class on Wednesday to keep learning. Sorry I stepped on your toes that one time 😉

From a photographer standpoint, it can be helpful to be in the shoes of your subjects. Especially since we photograph a lot of dance events, it was informative to feel the experience of your customers. Are the photographers distracting? How do the flashes affect your concentration? In this case, I found that I did not notice the flashes going off. With all of the other photographers popping off flashes, I could not tell which ones were ours. Similarly to oral reports at school, dancers are more concerned with their own performance as opposed to anything else going on!

Tysons Corner Arthur Murray – Spring Freestyles Pro Show

Saved the best for last? This was the first of the professional showcases at the DC Area Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles last month. Cliff and Allison kicked off the pro shows with this awesome samba. We were particularly proud since Cliff has been one of our instructors since recently coming back to the Tysons Corner studio. The poor guy is tasked with trying to get us to dance better every week.

Allison’s shows have always been crowd favorites  and this one was no different. It was definitely a highlight for our studio, and we look forward to more! We just had a lesson last night. Just some basic movements which always seem harder than the drawn-out school figures. Working out the brain more than the feet this time!

All the photos from this show can be seen at the proofing site. Not only are they fun to look at, but they can be a guide for body position in these dances. Although you may not dance as quickly or snappy as Allison and Cliff, they give you guides on what to shoot for. Here are some of my favorites – enjoy!
