What knarF said !
I especially like the tightness of most of the images you posted.
Maybe a bit of flash to help out the dancers exposure?

My daughter has developed an interest in competitive ballroom dancing.
This is interesting: my complete klutziness is clearly a recessive trait.
The studio she and her dance partner have been using put on a show Sunday.
Shooting dancing is hard! The light isn't too good, motion is fast and all
over the place, and if one's timing is off one can make the most graceful
people look like clods.
Fortunately Ellen and her partner performed about three-quarters of the
way through the afternoon, so I had some time to practice and sort out
technique. They performed a very intricate waltz, which her partner had
choreographed.

(K10D, DA 50-200; fixed manual exposure of f/4.5 @ 1/45, ISO 1100. Used a
one-stop gradient filter in LR to lighten the top 1/3 or so of most of the
shots).
Very nice set, Rick!
I especially like this one:

They seemed to have "a moment" - almost as if they were alone in front
of the crowd - and I really like seeing the onlookers' reflected in
the mirror.
Brilliantly composed and framed.
cheers,
