Content-aware fill is NOT going to be able to figure out what is going on when the dancer's body moves in front of the person in the background. You are going to need to do some roto and you are going to have to create an animated mask around the actor in the background. CAF is a great tool but it is not magic. You will have to properly prepare the clip to get it to work.
If it were me I would just do some roto on a duplicate layer of the dancer and put a fill made in Photoshop between the original and a seriously cropped shot of the dancer. You'll only have to keyframe the roto for the few frames where the dancer moves in front of the patch. Something like this:
I used a green solid as the track matte and drew a mask only over the patch. I added a glowing edge to the patch so you could see that it is just big enough to cover the person in the background. The mask on the duplicate footage layer (faked so the leg is over the background) does not need to be any bigger than the patch and only a few keyframes should be required because if the dancer is moving at all they will only cover the background for a couple of frames.
If there is camera movement you'll have to do some tracking. Even if you decide to use CAF, you are going to have to roto the mask that pokes a hole in the layer when the leg passes in front of the person in the background.
