Are you doing back bends during dancing? My yoga teacher told us that it's important that when doing a back bend, you have to make your back "spherical" afterwards (so bend the other way, I don't know how to call it in English)
I was wondering about keeping the pelvic tuck as well. However, I've noticed that when I practice a lot sometimes I have some muscle aches along the sides of my lower back, near the hip area and along the sides of my buttocks. Is this where your pain is located? It could be you are using the muscles intensely and that could be causing some aches, but you should never have pain in your lower back.
