They cut away just as the dancing starts to get interesting in lots of the numbers. It's hard to know how much is because it's a singing more than a dancing show - in 4 minutes the point in many ways was to showcase Kurt and Mercedes-and how much is just because that's the way things are done post MTV. I remember when the Single Ladies video came out people were having orgasms over the concept that there were only three cuts. Like wow Beyonce can dance a whole 3 minute routine without screwing up. With the weekly schedule they have for Glee at least some of is probably cover for not having the time to rehearse the routines to perfection.
I loved that hallway scene where in the background you can see various iterations of Madonna walking about. I couldn't figure out what was happening with the first two and then I did. The bit in the library with them looking through the gaps in the books at each other reminded me of the booth dancer thing in the Open Your Heart video.
