I am mainly looking for something sharper and better in low light.
That is going to be difficult for $200 so can you give us some more information? You won't be able to afford a better zoom lens so it is going to have to be a fixed focal length or "prime" - but you probably know that already.
- What focal length do you want?
- What do you want to photograph with the lens other than acrobatics?
- Do you want to photograph acrobatics in low light?
- What type of photographs aren't sharp enough at the moment? Lack of sharpness may be a technique problem rather than a lens problem, especially when you are shooting acrobatics.
30mm may be OK for your acrobatics but it isn't a very useful focal length for other things - not really wide enough for general purpose photography and not long really enough for portraits. Most of the cheap primes, including the Sigma, don't have OIS which may be a problem.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
