Thanks Dan for the kind words.

I just love how the LED lit ones end up looking like poster art. Way cool.
Thanks Bruce. When shooting hypersaturated color I try to check the
histogram to make sure that no channel is clipping. Unfortunately no
"auto exposure" or "auto toning" seems to be able to handle it properly
and with no light in the other channels will over expose by a couple of
stops.
The other thing I'll do in these cases, which gives it the poster art
effect (particularly if it's a bit soft) is to really crank up the
clarity, possibly the vibrance, or saturation, and to drop the blacks.
It's funny how often an exposure that would be an awesome photo if it
wasn't a bit blurry can be come cool art by leaning so hard on some of
the other controls to the point that it no longer looks like a photo.
I hope the flash shooter got the point from you.
I haven't heard from him, or seen his photos, but there was a discussion
of it on the "safety dance" group on facebook:

About a month ago, there was someone using a flash at a local dance, and
I discussed it with him in a bit too confrontational manner, which was
entirely counter productive. I was a bit gentler with Andy, showed him
a couple of things, particularly photos I took with my camera without
flash using an f/1.8 lens. I also suggested things he could try, such
as boosting his ISO so the camera needed less flash to make up for the
lack of light. In his favor, I did notice that he was pointing his
diffuser at the wall, and adjusting it when he went from landscape to
portrait. By Sunday night, I did notice the flash going off, but it
wasn't nearly so oppressive as it was on Friday.
I think he said his camera was a T-1 (?), and I know that Canons are
traditionally very weak in low light.

Here are 31 photos from the dance event I went to this weekend. There were
two "official" photographers, neither one was me, so I didn't take a lot of
photos at the activities they were, so most of mine where at the late night
(midnight to 5AM) dance, which was dimly lit, mostly with color adjustable
led bulbs.
One of the official photographers was using his flash at the main dance, so
I did shoot a bit then just to show him that he didn't actually need to use
a flash.
