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:

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!

If you like this poster, and would like to see more, please visit the TimeLine Media Facebook page. Each “Like” the individual poster will get counts as one vote. Vote for as many as you like, and please share the page with all your friends to have them weigh in. Thanks to the DC Area Arthur Murray studios for also sharing the photos to get more people to vote for their favorites!

Arthur Murray Columbia – Poster Winner

Chantilly, Virginia

I do not know where the time went, but the Spring Showcase really sprung up on me. There was not as much time to get the votes and promote the voting for the poster contest before yesterday’s Spring Showcase. In any event, there were still some that came to view the “aged photo” contest at the TimeLine Media Facebook page. It was again an easy win for the dancers from the Arthur Murray Columbia, MD studio for the photo of the Tango professional show.

These two dancers have performed many shows for the local Arthur Murray studios, and we have even run into them at competitions outside the region. They are an awesome pair to photograph! Not only do they dance these smooth dancers well, but they have also competed and performed Rhythm shows. We have no doubt that they are inspiring other instructors and student alike with their dancing.

Not only is their dancing technique very strong, but they also have some of the best costumes and hair design! Having the complete look is important for dancers on the competition floor. Placement of head pieces, having stones in place correctly on the dress, having hair that does not distract, but still catches the eye really makes an impression on judges and the audience. In every show, these two put the work in to make sure they are ready show ready every time. There are always multiple images from each show that I could use for posters to display! This post has just some of the others that could have been as easily substituted.

Arthur Murray – Chevy Chase Professional Show

©TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray - Tango professional show

Today’s post is from the Chevy Chase professional show performed at the end of the Arthur Murray Summer Showcase. They performed a Tango with a beautiful traditional red dress for the lady. For me, I find it one of the more technical dances. Consequently, it is a difficult dance to do well. Comparatively it can look very similar to other dances if done without the nuances that make it a Tango. However, it is one of the best dances to photograph! There are serious faces on the dancers. Additionally there are sharp, precise movements in the dancer’s feet and head position, and there are usually vibrant colors in the costumes. Both dancers convey strength, and intensity which translates very well to the camera. This was emphatically the case in this show, and I think I was able to capture some of this in the images. To see the entire collection from this show and others performed that night, you can go to the proofing website:
