Where can I get a poster?

[G809]

I was just thinking about how awesome it would be to have a hot and sexy picture of a top latin or standard couple up on my wall for me to admire and be inspired by. I did a search online though and it doesnt seem like anything of that sort is available... do I just have to go to a website with photos from comps and purchase onein a big size? I feel like staged photos of dancing would be more "perfect" than a photo taken at a comp, no? Advice appreciated :D .

That's a really good idea...I have no idea where to get one, but I'd like to know where to get a salsa-ish poster, or just cool dance posters in general.

I think that Kinko's will make a poster from your photo. Or pick one at a comp from the phptographer. I ued to have a picture of Donnie and Gaynor on my "Image Board." (pictures and words from magazines showing what you want to manifest in your life.)[/i]

If you email me I can get you a Chrisanne poster of one or two of their top sponsored couples... maybe something like...
Markus Homm & Charlotte Egstrand
or Timothy Howson & Joanne Bolton
or William Pino & Alessandra Bucciarelli

Oooh, we have so many beautiful posters in my dance studio and the ballroom. I'd love to get a salsa couple, like the one in my icon. Gorgeous. Very good decoration idea, come to think of it. :P

more art than pictures, but still inspirational. check allposters.com, which i found after a bit of looking around...all pretty small size though i think, but couldnt find anything better. think the approach of finding ur own pic and enlarging it would work better

Sorry, I'm a swing kid and not a balroom dancer (*at all*) so excuse me if this question is odd/taboo/wrong/whatever, I don't intend to offend:
In that great pic, why isn't the guy smiling? He doesn't even look like he's enjoying himself. If you're not elated why bother dancing?!
:?:

[Larinda McRaven]

No offense taken. We enjoy our dancing immensely. He probably isn't smiling for a few reasons.

1 he is trying to catch me as I go hurtling myself through space completely confident that he will catch me...
2 it is a passionate moment in our choreography and not ever moment of passion is a big toothy grin. Some of the more intimate moments are a bit more serious/internal than that.

You don't see big smiley faces on ATango dancers, but I doubt they are unhappy to be dancing.

[Diavo]

Oh ok, I understand now. Thank you! =)

I could never bend like that! Not even when I was younger! A beautiful picture, Larinda. I don't ballroom, either, but it would be so neat to try on a dress like that.

Actually, this one is Bill Brauer's, but Vettriano is one of my favourites! What's not to like about artists who paint dancers?
Gotta love Degas...

P.s. I wanted to get posters via art.com, but they're too small. I wanted large ones. :P

Gorgeous, Larinda!

very true.. when i'm really 'in the zone' as they say, the look on my face could get seriously intense.. its consuming .. all your heart is in it, u dont even care wether u look cheerful.. sad.. angry.. or even wierd .. u get passed that ... like a dart board with circles spiraling in smaller and smaller.. to the 'bullseye'.. it feels great and hence .. will look great.. see the passion .. see it! :D

Do you spend every single moment of a swing dance with a big toothy grin pasted on your mug?
