Anyone else amused by the 2-stepping gogo dancers? LOL we're spoiled in our clubs, seriously.
Prometheus, Terry gave some good advice even if it was a tad rough around the edges. I'll give you my take, may seem a bit nitpicky, but meh, you want some constructive advice from the masses, I'll give you some.  Nothing that hasn't actually already been mentioned, but I'll expand with my actual views on each criticism.
You don't need more than 5-10 seconds of any individual dancer scene. An example of a scene that lasted way too long was from 56 seconds to 1:19. We got the point after the timer hit 1:00, there were two girls who couldn't dance, YAY. Another example of shots that lasted too long is from 1:50-2:20, 30 seconds is way too long to show people with poor dancing skills as the main focal point of your shot. An exception could be made for people with outstanding dance talents I suppose, or just going so crazy and wild it's entertaining. But for dancers like those, ass-shaking two-steppers, for the most part, you get the point after a few seconds (even 10 seconds is pushing it) "Yes, great, the girl is dancing, next shot please".
Spending more than 2 seconds TOPS on any of those group-posing shots was a bit of a waste of time too, although the longest group-pose was only around 6 seconds, so you didn't take it too far. Again, we get it, they posed, next shot please. A good idea might be to string a bunch of group shots together at no more than a second each to fill the time. Instead of wasting 10 seconds on two groups of people, string 10 groups together with really quick 'glimpses' instead of making us watch them get ready and make their pose, use the shot of the final pose for half a second and BLAM, next!
I think you had the right idea with your own personal desire to keep the video around 2:30. 6 minutes for a video of that type, to cover a club with ONE ROOM, IS really long.
Finally, I agree that using music of the same style they were playing at the event would have been a better choice. It doesn't matter what YOUR personal taste in music is, people watching a video of a club they're interested in going to are also going to want a taste of the style of music that will be played.
