The Dance Magic looks finished to me.
As for the psionics, I still prefer an all-PLA approach, if only because it's a bit easier.

That's fine. Here's what we've got now...
Psi-Like Abilities: Always active—synesthete (may feel both sound and light simultaneously); at will—x; 3/day—x; 1/day—psychofeedback, shadow body. Manifester level 5th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
*Includes augmentation for the rautym's manifester level.
Psionic Powers: A rautym manifests powers as a psion (egoist) of 5th level. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Typical Psion Powers Known (power points 32, save DC 13 + power level):
1st—x;
2nd—cause decay, chameleon;
3rd—danger sense.
*Power can be augmented.
Merging the two...

Look OK?

Updated.
Skills: 7 ranks
Put it all in Concentration?
Feats: 2
Combat Manifestation?
Challenge Rating: 3? Cause decay is fairly deadly for its power level, and the dance magic can be game-changing in groups.
Alignment: Usually neutral evil?
Advancement: By character class (psion)? Or HD advancement?
Level Adjustment: -? (I suppose they aren't that bad individually as characters, but a group of them with dance magic could be campaign-breaking)
A rautym is 4 feet tall and weighs x pounds.
Rautym speak x.

I'd prefer 5 in Concentration and 2 in Perform (dance), just for the sake of verisimilitude.
They'll get a +4 circumstance bonus on all three sensory skills from their improved synesthete power.
That works out as:
Skills: Concentration +6, Listen +1* [+5 with synesthete], Perform (dance) +5, Search +1* [+5 with synesthete], Spot +1* [+5 with synesthete]
Yes, plus Multiattack?
Both are fine.
Hit Dice but no size change feels right to me, probably 4-9 HD (Small).
If a PC asked me to play one of these I'd set the Level Adjustment to "Hell No", a.k.a. "—".
40 or 50 pounds?
There's no mention of language in the original text, but Undercommon would make sense.

The spell provides a circumstance bonus, not a racial one, and the modifier is +5 if you include it:
Skills: Concentration +6, Listen +5*, Perform (dance) +5, Search +5*, Spot +5*
*Includes +4 circumstance bonus from its always active synesthete psi-like ability.
Oops, I must have forgotten "Rautym" is both singular and plural when I wrote that, it should be:
Dance Magic (Sp): Rautym possess a unique ability to work magic by dancing. At least two rautym are needed to work dance magic. One rautym acts as the focus of the magic, and the other rautym dance around the focus rautym to generate the magic.
It doesn't really need the Although at the start, and I feel the last sentence would work better in the Tactics section.
Rautym lack the traditional senses of vision and hearing, but psionically "feel" sound and "hear" light, allowing them to move about in the subterranean dark freely. They maintain small quantities of faintly phosphorescent rocks all about their lairs, or on their persons if travelling, which allow them to function easily.
Combat
When a rautym senses danger, it uses psychofeedback to improve its Strength, then uses shadow body to sneak behind its enemies. The rautym then use cause decay or simply join melee.
Rautym rely on their synesthete power to sense their surroundings. If plunged into magical darkness and silence, rautym panic and attempt to flee.
