Last week we photographed the 2016 Baltimore Dancesport Challenge held at the BWI Westin. After all the dancing was over, all that’s left are the photos! So, we came back, sorted them by number, and posted for you to see.

Thanks to Marielle Pabon for inviting us to cover her event again this year. Although our company covered the 2015 event, I had to send a substitute. By comparison, there has been a nice update to the ballroom decoration. Because I am a technology nerd, I really like the new gobo projections. While the logo can still be seen, it is not as reflective. Since I use flashes on all the photos, this makes a good balance!

This time, they had a beautiful holiday-theme red curtain as a background. At first I was not sure if this would work for the photos. Given that is becomes much brighter in my strobe flashes, I thought it would be too similar to the dancers. However, I think it worked nicely!

Overall, red is a color that pops from digital camera sensors. Although that is usually a good thing, I was worried it would overwhelm here. However, I think it worked very well! Being that it was the holidays, the red fit the event theme, and it was a complimentary background to many of the dresses. Thanks to Marielle and Carlos for inviting us this year!

That’s Dancing Ballroom and Dancesport Center in Jessup, Maryland has an awesome staff that goes to great lengths to give a great experience to their students. This shows in the support they get from their students, and the friends of their studio that come to see their Showcases. I enjoy the effort they put into turning a hotel ballroom into a proper venue for dance performances.

Marielle weaves together a theme throughout each Showcase. Sometimes there will be trivia questions between numbers along that theme. It is a clever way to give time for costume and shoe changes. And it keeps the audience paying attention to what they are watching. It has them perked up to see what the next set of dancers will show them.

These photos are from the final act of the night where the staff and the professional dancers that teach at the studio perform for everyone. It gives inspiration to everyone watching to continue dancing! I’m sure they come back from the Showcases with ideas for their next performance. Even the judges will get in on the dancing.

These photos were from 2014, and I need to make some room on the server for new events. On Monday, they will be moved from the TimeLine Media proofing site, and will be sent to the archives. This will be your last chance to see and purchase photos from this event, so please send the link to anyone that may like to see the photos. Thanks to Marielle and Carlos for having me cover their Showcase again this holiday season!
