Please evaluate my Dance Photos

Please evaluate my work!

I have currently done two Indian Classical solo dance concerts. I had so much

fun trying to capture the correct poses....and because the dance is so fast

it's a challenge to capture a pose before they move on to the next steps.... I

like to explore this field more, and would love some evaluations.

I currently use a Canon 30D with 70-200 f/2.8 IS.

The environment I am in is as follows: In the auditorium, I sit on the third

row, middle seat (no one in front of me)and I am limited to that seat

only...away from the stage 3-4 meters. The House lights (or audience lights)

is very very low and I can't use flash.

The Issues I'm facing are typically for a photographer in this type of

sitution. The Dance is quite fast moving that some of my photos are awfully

blured. (especially ones when the dancer is in the air, etc) And when the

dancer comes toward the front of the stage....i end up cropping the dancer's

arms and legs, etc. which is quite annoying.

And as an overall comment....I like to see the photos alot more sharper and

crisper.

Any suggestions to get around these issues?

I welcome your recommendations and critiques!

Thank you very much

the shots look great considering your tight limitations. Have you considered renting an

85mm 1.2 lens? (if there is a rental house in your area). composition would be a little

trickier, but you would get some extra speed on your shutter.
