I have been shooting dance for over 20 years; however, I shoot in theatres so your shooting outside the theatre was interesting to me. Normally I shoot during a show with multiple cameras, but I have to shoot a promo for a musical performance. I will be shooting in an empty theatre so I may use my powered slider for my wide shot. Your comments about camera movement inspired me.

Hello, can you please share, what kind of camera settings will give me the best and highest quality footage? Most videos on youtube talk about the best camera settings for 'talking head' videos. But I am going to assume that the settings need to be quite different if I am shooting a dance video, right? The main thing I am struggling with while shooting my dance videos is that the subject (aka me) keeps going in and out of focus. What is the solution here?
