I don't think your shutter speed was actually 1/800. Too much blur for that. You need to expose for just the lights, and not the black curtain. Off of auto and use manual. You can use the monitor to judge what it should be. And if the light changes, you'll have to change your camera accordingly.

Widest aperture is best, but not auto because the black curtain with spotlight or just light on a narrow area towards the front of the stage will read as slower than what you could use. High school show will be lit brighter than an elementary show, but the same principle for both. Whatever shutter speed you used, you could come a little higher because you can see from how visible the curtains are. So if you were to auto read the same scene, knowing the curtains and spot lighting makes a lower reading, come up on shutter speed a little. See how that looks on the monitor. Then you use timing and panning. The spinning girl may not ever get very clear. Maybe just the face if you shoot when dancers keep their head still while the body comes around. The girls in pink, shoot at that moment they pause when they come up, not on the way up.
