This event was held at the Hilton McLean in Tysons Corner, VA. The photos have a very different look from our other recent photos due to the setup of the large ballroom where this event was held. This was probably the dimmest room we have photographed in a while, so almost all the light from the photos is from our flashes. In order to keep from blinding the audience and other dancers, we have adjusted our lights and shooting style. The photographers wait for the dancers to be in the sweet spot for the light before taking their photos. Because the reach of the flash is lower in this room, we could not shoot as far down the floor as in other rooms. But I think we made it work, and we thank everyone that ordered some prints and downloads of their images. The last event that we will cover for the Arthur Murray studios this year will be the Fall Showcase coming up in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned for photos from that event soon!

Arthur Murray – Professional Formation

Copyright TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray Professional Formation

Busy Sunday today! Someone on the email list informed me that I forgot to post photos from the professional formation from the last Arthur Murray DC event. So sorry! Of course, I did not mean to leave them off my blogging list. It was on there, however just waiting its turn. And here they are! These are my favorite photos from the Salsa professional dance formation. It was performed by the Gaithersburg and Silver Spring studios. The team performed the dance so smoothly – transitioning between partners, forming lines, circles, all while

Overall it is a lot to take in when photographing formation groups. Especially with the staff performing at a professional level, there is a lot to attempt to capture. Of course they have the dance figures, but they have the added element of their body position to other couples. With this in mind, I don’t think I have a good strategy for photographing this aspect. I do love having the chance to try!

Arthur Murray – Columbia Professional Showcase

As promised, here are photos from Columbia, MD professional show from the Arthur Murray Summer Showcase. The sale just ended on these photos at the proofing website, but they are still available to view and share. I want to let everyone that came to view and purchase photos that I appreciate your support of our photography. We put a lot of effort to create the best ballroom dance images, and post the thousands of images for you to find! Thanks for keeping the servers running with your orders. We are always thinking of better ways to bring these images to you, and give you options for your photos, and I will be posting more about those options in the coming weeks. The labs that print these images have lots of sales in the summer months, and I’ll pass them along to you. Stay tuned!

The images in the post today are from the Viennese Waltz professional show by the Columbia, Maryland studio. The Viennese Waltz is a challenging dance especially on a crowded dance floor. It differs from the regular, slow waltz, by having more speed and rotation in the steps. It is a beautiful dance when the dancers know what they are doing, and that is what these two displayed for the audience. They had beautiful dance lines, extensions in their frame, and they make it look effortless!
