I like the image itself, however your post processing and saving of it needs a bit more work. The white balance gives a decidedly unattractive cast to this and there is a ton of JPEG compression taking away detail and creating some visible artifacts. I copied it into PaintShop Pro top see, and found I could fix the white balance, but most other adjustments brought out even more pixelated JPEG artifacts.

Hmmm... not sure what to make of this. Certainly, there are straight lines in this, but it appears that the focus of the image is merely the lines in the artwork. I think this might be more effective without the people and somehow using the straight lines of the wall/floor (maybe even the corner wall of the room) and the art frame as significant points of interest.

I'm guessing the picture is what you consider straight, but I'm seeing a lot of other things in your photo to draw my eye.

Though the subject matter is not not attractive, it does fit the challenge. Having said that I see many down sides with the image. The focus is soft and the lighting is flat. There seems to be no relation between the people on the image with the "Dance" theme. It would be more effective not having nobody in the frame at all (it would be more boring too...). The persons are cropped out - with exceptions, cropping or cutting people/limbs is not a good thing to do.

I seem to miss the point

My kinda respose to the challenge. :-) Perhaps a wee bit of white balance adjustment, or convert to B&W, as the yellowish tinge may be a bit offputting. I like the partial peeps on the right. It seems as though they may be considering the suggestion.
