Couple Qs:

1. I feel like I should settle on one video-editing application and learn it, and it should be a fairly mainstream app with plenty of user forums. Price-wise, my choices seem to be Adobe Premiere Pro (I have a CC subscription so I can add it on) or iMovie (already have it). Final Cut Pro seems quite pricey for a novice-with-a-whim venture. Thoughts?
2. What's a cheapish-but-okay-for-a-beginner brand of lavalier mic + wireless transmitter w/ XLR outputs?

The other thing I'll use the videocamera for is, of course, dance performances. Thinking I should really practice my manual focusing, and get a fluid head for my tripod. The tripod is a Bogen/Manfrotto.
I'd go with Premiere. Most support.

I'd go with a wired lavalier if it's got standard mic input.

You could also record separate audio to a separate device and drop in the track in premiere
