Nice angles, Tori! I would use shorter transitions for BD to keep visuals in sync with misic, these are more suited for a wedding video... The main problem that the AF in your camera can't keep up with the dancer in low light and mixed lighting + highlight are overblown in most clips. Try to go all manual: pre-focus, take a still shot in Auto, switch to MF, use the Auto exposure settings form the still shot as a reference, close the aperture by 3-4 stops to increase depth of field (if you shoot more or less perpendicular to the dancer's movement, you'll stay in focus). You highlights are too bright, so -1 stop will take care or it, to compensate for the balance of 2-3 aperture stops increase ISO accordingly +2-3. Take a still, check the histogram and highlight warning (a bit of HL warning is OK. Shoot a short test video to check depth of field and adjust aperture, if needed.
