I think the in-challenge comments were pretty accurate. (Except for Grog's. Why he thought this was a celebrity is a mystery to me!) The image appears somewhat flat and definitely needs a little cranking up in PP. I tried some of PSP's clarify on this, and it did help to give it a little pop and dimension. As Cory suggested, some saturation, contrast and sharpening (in addition to some clarify) would certainly help. The composition is a bit static as well. I might have composed this with a little more room at the top and more free space on the left side, to give her something to dance into. As far as the dancing, I agree it's not obvious she's dancing, both from the odd position of her arms, and the fact that she's wearing a coat and hat. Even though she surely was dancing at the time, it is not strongly conveyed by the image.

Grog open club. (No, not club to hit things with, club where people pay to dance and make Grog money!) Is place to be seen for all fancy-people. Famous female Miley Cyrock shows off latest hot moves on dance floor.

While this isn't a bad image by any means, you have several issues -

Contrast/brightness, the image is a touch low contrast and dark.

Sharpness, you both could have sharpened more and a faster shutter would have benefited the shot, as her hands are blurred from movement...

Subject, I don't really see this telling me a story or making me ask questions, really, it's more - why is this here?

Best of luck! :)

i really can't tell that she's dancing. i only knew she was because of the title.
