Social Dancing Magazine Thumbnails

Our next project is all about designing a composition for a audience of mainly the opposite sex.  The guys, myself included were assigned an article on Social Dancing, in essence any type of ballroom dancing.  The girls were given an article on fishing.  I had a few different main ideas with my layouts.  They are supposed to be a 2 page spread for a magazine so I have to keep in mind how much I can fit into those 2 pages while still having enough room for all the copy.  I really like the idea of the couple dancing across both pages, as seen in the middle but I think it would create quite a mess with all the copy that needs to be fit in.  I think the bottom left layout is the most efficient and clean.  I'd like to go with that and perhaps add a more decorative header with a picture dropout of a ballroom behind the title to give it some interest.  There would also be a box near the end of the article housing instructions or specific information about dancing.
