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. To see the images and share with anyone that attended, please go to this link:

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!

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!

Showcase Ready!

This is the weekend! We are ready to photograph the Arthur Murray Summer Showcase this Sunday, June 1. It does not seem that long since our last ballroom dance event. It has been only 2 weeks since we were on the sidelines at the dance floor! Additionally, it has also been a short time since the Spring Freestyles. We have been so busy, the time just flew!

We know that the dancers have been hard at work in the studios with their coaches and instructors to get their routines ready for the judges. I am personally excited about hearing some great music to go along with these routines! With the opportunity to choose your own music to go along with the choreography, it is a great time to find some new music to add to your practice playlist. I will have my iPhone on me with the music identification app on the ready!

Even though you have been working for many weeks, maybe months for these routines, we know that there can be some hiccups. In the photos, if you hide it well, and continue to have a good time, it will still be a success! The judges know the amount of time you put into these, and a little slip will not sink your score. Even the best dancers do not hit all their lines every time – I photograph a lot of these, and I have seen it firsthand. If they continue and finish like nothing happened, it will almost be a nonfactor in how the judges score. Showcase, like all the other events, should be a fun day to come together with your dance friends to catch up, show off some new steps in your social dancing, and inspire others to dance better at the next event. I’ll be there to hopefully catch some nice images! The photos will be posted at the proofing site by the following weekend at the latest.
