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!

Ballroom Dance photos – 2012 Baltimore Dancesport Challenge

I’ll have more on this event, but here are some favorites from the 2012 Baltimore Dancesport Challenge. This is a terrific one-day event to show off your dancing in front of the judges. As far as ballroom dance photos go, this was a beautiful ballroom setting. From the pleasing light fixtures, and warm wood accents, the background blurred nicely in most of the images.

On this occasion, this competition moved to the BWI Westin. It was an overall upgrade in terms of improving the venue for this competition. Marielle has in fact a lot of experience in running a professional event, and this better showed off how accommodating she and her team can be.

After all the dancing, they always have some great professional shows to cap off the day. We are especially looking forward to traveling to the Baltimore area for this year’s edition. This year’s event will be March 16, 2013. Visit their website here. for ticket and showcase information for anyone interested in attending the competition.
