Hi,

There is no way to make 1 and 2 work and sound even vaguely natural.

Last night the group was joined by Jane, whose dancing is a divine to watch. That is as close as I can come. A natural way to say this: Jane joined the group last night, and watching her dance is a divine experience.

Last night I ran into Harry, who is always a pleasure for me to see.
