The photos on today’s post are from the Professional Show by Arthur Murray – Alexandria, Virginia. Jessica is one of the hardest workers during these events trying to get scores collected, tabulated, and awards lined up for all the top students and teachers. When we arrive to set up our gear, she is already at the venue setting up and getting her things in order.

At this Showcase, it was nice to see her spotlighted during the final dances of the day! It was nice to see Jonathan too – we have seen him dance many times with his students at Freestyles and Showcases, but this was our first professional show that I can remember. Jessica is disappointed when we do not dance during these events, so it is nice to see when one of us gets out there! She also came by the booth to wonder why her studio was not featured on our posters – well, that may change at the next event for sure!

Tysons Corner Center – Santa Breakfast

The wintry weather started in earnest the day of the Santa Breakfast at Tysons Corner Center. The early-morning event was well attended by many kids and parents. Who wouldn’t want the chance to see Santa Claus just before Christmas?

The mall was still decorated with lots of colors for the holidays. Adding to the scene were face painters, balloon makers, and other performers to keep everyone in the holiday spirit. All of these made for some great holiday photos. Santa arrived by train, then he sat in his chair big enough to fit him and children with the Christmas wishes on the ready. I had a really great time taking photos of the whole scene – the lines were long, but everyone did their best to get everyone their holiday treats, and time with Santa.

There was also an appearance and show with the Funny Little People. Santa got a break, and was front and center for the performance. They sang Christmas carols, and some unexpected songs thrown in too!

At the end of the breakfast, Santa headed off to his normal spot in the mall for photos. It has been a busy season for him – so many children to meet, and so many wishes to remember! The next holiday event on the calendar was the opening of the German Christmas Market. Today is the last day, so head out there to shop in the popular European outside marker. The weather looks great today!

The photos featured on the blog this week are from another of the professional shows from the Fall Showcase. These are from the Gaithersburg, MD studio, and they are dancing a Rumba. After a full day of dancing other routines with their students, these two did a show for everyone in attendance. I am always amazed how these dancers can keep all their routines in their memory, when it is so difficult to remember just one!

This was another beautiful routine from these two. We have not seen them do a show together, and they did a great job on this pro show! What they were wearing sets up perfectly for black and white photos.

Changing photos to monochrome is where I really have fun in post processing photos. It is more than just removing color! I will post more about my techniques for doing this in a future blog post. If you have your own tips on how to do this, please let me know!
