I have used both a full wig and clip-on ponytails for dancing and I greatly prefer the latter. The full wig gets really hot when you're dancing - think of dancing in a beanie! Also give you super-bad hat-hair once you've taken it off. I've done hair-tossing with a full wig and it stayed on fine as long as I used lots of bobbie pins throughout the crown.
If you go for a ponytail, those with a butterfy clip are super-easy to attach and don't ever seem to fly off. The only thing is that the clip can look very bulky, so it depends on the look you're going for. They can also pull on your own ponytail and feel a bit heavy (then again, super easy to whip off after the gig). You can also get ponytails with two combs that lock together. I haven't used these, so not sure how 'safe' they are from slippage, but when I tried one on it felt much lighter and comfy.
Not sure if you use hairpieces already, but I would try not to spend super-much. Unless it's real hair, the synthetic wigs all get split ends fairly quickly - esp. if they're long and get tossed around with dancing - and there's nothing you can do to repair them. So I think it's better to buy medium-priced pieces and replace them regularly than invest too much in one.
