Hi Christine,
Thanks for the pointers and sharing the thoughts. I've done some ambient light photography of tango with Nikon D700, about half of the photos in this gallery: http://42graphy.org/tango/astf-2010/ But it doesn't always work (espcially with K-7), because in many cases, one needs a reasonable DOF (I find that frequently f/1.4 and even 1.8-2.0 don't provide enough, and even 2.8 is hard to use when the motion is fast and/or close). I took some photos with ISO 1600 and 3200 with my K-7 at the last festival, and they are passable shots, but I am not overly happy with them.
