I don't think it's your dancing foot, but you should check your diction. Well, kind of. :-) > I haven't been keeping track, do you also shoot with a K-x? I tried it, but decided that despite the improvements it offered, it was not worth keeping it for me, and K-7 was still better suited for my needs. > I think that the best thing would be to discuss with the organizers > the possibility of a photo corner that is a bit better lit, doesn't > have mirrors and such.

For most events, I am not a "dedicated" photographer (and I prefer it that way, - so that I can enjoy dancing myself). Besides, - I don't feel like bringing a lot of stationary equipment, and I prefer the freedom of movement. Additionally, while this solution might be helpful for blues events, when it comes to tango, - the interesting photo opportunities open during performances. So, a "better-lit corner" wouldn't be a good solution.
