Whether to pose or get pictures in motion depends a lot on the photographer
- If the photographer has extensive experience photographing dancers, then chances are he or she will have a preference for one or the other.
- If the photographer primarily does a lot of wedding work, he or she will hopefully be good at setting you in flattering poses and capturing flattering angles. Just make sure not to let them pose you in positions that are nonsensical from a dance perspective (i.e. sticking your foot out like you were doing a big Turkish style hip drop when you dance Egyptian style, etc)
- If the photographer does a lot of sports or other action photography, then he or she probably has a feeling for how to time the shutter right to capture a movement, not the second right after, so dancing during the shoot might be better. Of course, be honest with yourself about how well you maintain your posture and carriage while you're dancing. If you tend to slip a little when you get into the music, you may not be happy with how you look in the pics.
