Michelle and her Ballroom Dance teacher Kelvin Roche at the 2015 Philadelphia Dancesport Championship in Philly.

I spent an April 2015 weekend with my darling Angelique Zuccolo at the Philadelphia Dancesport Championships, in Philly. Angelique was one of the competitors and she won 1st place in all her dances. Her performance was impressive, her movement precise yet executed with ease… and she looks so sexy!…

I had to get "permission" from one of the event photographers to take these photos… They barely do her grace and agility justice. Other dancers shown in this series include Kelvin Roche (Instructor), Lori Ann Greenhouse (Instructor), Michele Fisher (Student), Tobi Kretschmer (Instructor), Kristina Lucia (Student).

This was my first photo shoot of dancers in action; I captured these stills with my Canon 5D Mark III set at ISO 3200. I shot everything between 1/400 and 1/500 shutter speed with available light at f/4.0 using my Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM mounted on a Manfrotto monopod.

Here are a few of my favorites, some of which I converted to Black & White in Adobe Lightroom. Enjoy!
