Struggling with Rhythm

Very Rough Layout
 
I've been exploring rhythm and trying to show syncopation this month.  My inspiration is Scott Joplin's Pineapple Rag - to honor him I added his music score to the background (printed on organza).  Then I needed dancers because to me rhythm means movement & dancing.  I've moved the dancers around quite a bit but I'm not there yet.  The center figure is intentionally more hidden thru lighter colors but I think the head needs a darker outline.  Anyway do you have tips for me?  Or do you have experience with depicting syncopation in art quilts?  I'd love to hear from you!!!
