It may be that sweat is loosening your liner a bit.

Before dancing, try removing the liner, drying your skin, and re-installing. 

It's also possible that you need to add something to the liner washing regimen, or that your residual limb has shrunk a bit. Visit your prosthetist and describe the problem. Try to walk around before the appointment, so that you can demonstrate. When I first tried the Alpha brand of liners, my prosthetist didn't tell me about the 'wash with alcohol' step, and I got a lot of 'liner slipping on my skin'.

There are some anti-perspirants that can be used on residual limbs. Certain-Dri is over the counter.

In warm weather when I bicycle, I have to remove my liner roughly every hour to dry off sweat, or I get an uncomfortable rash on the skin under the liner and suspension sleeve. The Certain-Dri does not do anything for me - your mileage may vary.
