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:

Tango Staff 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!

Andy Grammer at Tysons Corner Center | Virginia Music Photographer

Play on the Plaza

Last Friday was another beautiful evening at Tysons Corner Center. On this occasion, the 94.7 Fresh Artists Concert Series welcomed Andy Grammer to the stage! He came and sang solo with just his guitar. Additionally he did some beat-boxing / mouth drumming thrown in. It highlighted the great reverb in the space between the large buildings around the Plaza.

If you listen to pop music radio Andy Grammer will have a familiar sound with his tracks getting a lot of airtime including, “Keep Your Head Up”, “Fine By Me”, and “Miss Me”. Even though it was just him on the stage with a guitar, his energetic sound filled up the space nicely. The connection with the crowd was easily felt with the nice introduction by Kelly Collis of 94.7 Fresh FM and a group of young fans. The audience also readily joined in with the very sing-able chorus of “Back Home”.

We have been so lucky the last few Fridays for this concert series! It was a perfect summer for Tysons Corner to open the Plaza to the public. So many have been able to enjoy the outdoor space and share their experience on social media, so I am sure that next summer’s series will have even more in the crowd! Thanks to Tysons Corner Center for giving me the opportunity to cover this series for them. It has been a lot of fun getting photos of the artists performing, and the crowd enjoying the music and the weather on these evenings.

Tonight is the last in the series, so you can still go and get your wristbands this morning to see Jacquie Lee perform. It looks like it will be another nice night to see an outdoor concert. Come out to hear the music, and come back to the blog to see the photos!

Denard Span visits Tysons Corner Center | Virginia Photographer

The Bullpen Tysons

A few weekends ago Denard Span of the Washington Nationals took some time out of his busy weekend to meet and greet with fans and a little league team at the Tysons Bullpen. The visit came in the middle of the season during a home stretch for the Nationals. If you have not followed the story of the team for this year, they are playing very well! In fact, they were in the middle for a long winning streak at the time of the photos, and Denard’s play was a big reason for their success.

For the time he was at the mall, he talked about his upbringing, his background in sports and the role it played in his development. He gave all of us an insight into what it is like to be a big league player. There are many perks, but it is a big responsibility. One of the best things I heard him say was that he still felt lucky and blessed to be doing what he is doing. To be a major league baseball player, and to have the support of his teammates and fans alike pushes him to keep working as hard as he can. He sets big goals for himself, and he is still working towards others.

Grant Paulsen from 106.7 The Fan radio station was there to get the discussion going. Hearing that baseball players play 162 games over 182 days really impressed how much of a grind it can be. There are not too many days off during the season. With all the games, travel, and playoffs if the team does well, I can see how it can be difficult. This was really eye opening for me, and seeing the difference between that and the little leaguers in the audience, you could tell that they appreciated the effort that he puts in to be where is today. It was inspiring to listen, and pushes me to do more with my own efforts.

He definitely made me a fan, and I’ll be looking to see how the Nationals do this fall as the playoffs loom. He was very nice to the little ball players, and the fans, and I can see why they root for him and the Nationals. Maybe they will be playing baseball in October in DC!
