My pleasure. I'm not sure how much time you put into post processing, but one thing you should perhaps think about a bit more is cropping. I already threw out 1 idea about the first image, but let me pick on a simpler one. The 7th image where you have the line of dancers in white - there are two composition problems. One is the background on the right where there are people milling about, which could have perhaps been solved by shooting from a different position, and the other is the garbage can on the left. Ideally it should have been removed, but as this is the image you have to work with, I would suggest you try cropping out as much as you can, without drastically changing the aspect ratio.
I also think your focus is off - to my eye it is the back wall that is in focus. I only spotted this when I went to look at the aperture you used, as this would have been a good case to try to shoot wide open. But for that to work you need to nail the focus spot on the girls and be on a parallel line to them.
