Thanks Ann.  If only dance events actually had the money to pay. It's 
nice that they are now contacting me ahead of time and offering me 
discounts off my registration, at least from the "it's nice to be 
appreciated" point of view.


Apart from the musicians and the instructors, these events tend to be 
all volunteer with even the local dancers providing housing for people 
from out of town.  I mostly do the photography as a way of giving back 
to the community.


I can't claim much credit on the lighting, that is what was there. The 
LED lights were nice in some ways, but they really have their own sets 
of challenges.  It helps that the room was reasonably bright anyways.




To me it would be as much torture as shooting a wedding.


There's a big difference, I'd go to this event if I wasn't 
photographing it.  I'll admit that I didn't get as many photos on 
Sunday night because the band was so good I didn't want to spend as 
much time shooting rather than dancing.
