Dance Event today – DC Dance Challenge

©TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles

Just a quick post today as we are going to be photographing the DC Dance Challenge today in the Atrium Ballroom of the Ronald Reagan Building. This is a new venue for us in the heart of downtown Washington, DC. It will be a new setup and arrangement for us and the organizers of the event who originally scheduled this at the Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo. With the federal government shutdown, a new venue was needed. Luckily, this is another top of the line space in the area for ballroom dancing. We wish luck on all the dancers today! By next Saturday, we will have the photos posted to the proofing website for viewing. You can leave you email address here to be notified as soon as they are completed with their upload, and are ready to view:

Venue Moved – DC Dance Challenge

©TimeLine Media - DC Dance Challenge

Facts of life around DC have been challenging this last week. The government shutdown has drastically changed the way our area is looking, and there are many changes to daily life that is taking some adjustment. The Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park is run by the National Park Service. Without a federal budget, this park is closed, and no activities are able to go on at the site.

So tomorrow’s DC Dance Challenge has moved to the Atrium Ballroom at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in downtown DC! This is a beautiful newer building built in the federal style to match the many government buildings in the immediate surrounding area. We are thankful that the organizers were able to arrange such a great venue in short notice! We are excited to shoot a ballroom dance event there for the first time, and of course, we’ll have the photos of the moved venue here on the blog.

The photos will definitely look different from the unique architecture and dance floor of the Spanish Ballroom, but we’ll do our best to make it look just as good in the photos. There is a lot of excitement about the competition this year, and the entries are always going up. We look forward to seeing more familiar faces on the dance floor tomorrow!

Theodore Roosevelt Island is a serene spot right in the middle of everything. Just a footbridge across from Arlington, Virginia, this island sits in the Potomac River making it a part of Washington, DC. From the island, you can get views over the river to the tall office buildings in Rosslyn, Virginia. As can be seen people are in these tall buildings have a great view of the capital city. Obviously, This area does not have the same height restrictions as DC!

The parking lot is just off the George Washington Memorial Parkway, and the bike trail which follows it. In that case, it makes it a popular spot for visitors to rest and explore along the way. Many college students attending the nearby universities can be seen on the trails. Moreover, they are in the water enjoying paddle boarding, and boating in the busy waterways surrounding the island.

There were a few markers along the trails marking where a 19th century mansion once stood. Additionally, there are a few describing some of the history and nature that are present there. In the middle, is a memorial to the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. There are canals, two large fountains, and a 17-foot statue of the president at the center. Along the edges are monolithic cement blocks with some of his more famous and profound quotes inscribed.

It is a nice place to rest as you traverse the island trails. The lower trails will follow the river into a marshy, swampy area. Other trails will take you a little higher in elevation. In almost every section, you can have views of the surrounding areas of Georgetown, and Rosslyn. It is not too challenging, and will give you some unique views of the city that are not as popular, but still accessible and beautiful!
