"Get off the stage" is a commonly shouted "boo". In this case it wouldn't matter very much but... if you don't particularly want to see the dancing, would you have wanted there to be even more teams volunteering? I imagine that part of the reason to "boo" is to get the current performer to end their act prematurely and to discourage future bad performances.
