my guess is that some floor beams had too long of an unsupported span that were never designed to carry that much weight.

My first thought too. My bet is that this building was originally built to house some other kind of business, not originally designed to carry that kind of occupant load. Especially with the style of dancing that youngsters have these days, which is basically just jumping up and down.
