Assuming you'll be needing lightweight and light-gathering lenses, I'd
ditch the 2x, the 40mm and take the 135mm only if you think such long
tele will be needed.
A quick and lightweight macro of sorts can be achieved with a small
extension ring and a reverse adapter ring, provided you still have one
50-ish lens with aperture control ring. No match for a true macro lens,
but cheap and really lightweight.

I'm packing for my Chicago trip, and am down to packing the photo

Most of the dances will be in fairly dark conditions, so I'm bringing
the faster primes, also the 18-250.
It's a tough choice between bringing the 50/2.8 macro and the 2x/macro
teleconverter. The TC is more versatile since it'll work on all of my
lenses, and it's just a bit smaller than the macro lens without the
hood. It'll turn my 50/1.4 into a 100/2.8 macro, though not quite as
sharp. It'll also turn my 77/1.8 into a 154/3.6 so I could leave my
135/2.5 at home. Besides, I don't really expect to do any macro work
anyways.
I almost decided against bringing the DA40/2.8, but that felt too much
like leaving a dear friend at home. Besides, it's nice and small.
