Dance (command)

Dance is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series, available usually to the Dancer class. Dances are fairly versatile, and can have positive or negative Status Effects. There is a recurring Dance attack, Sword Dance, that acts as a powerful physical attack.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years


Dance is Brina's command ability. Dance has a Charge Time of 3. It casts a random White Magic spell on the entire party for no MP cost. Calca has a similar ability called Jive, which casts random enemy abilities on the enemy party.

Final Fantasy V
Dance is the level 2 ability for the Dancer class. When Dance is used, one of four random abilities is used with a 25% chance for each. Equipping the Rainbow Dress, Red Slippers, or Lamia's Tiara causes the character to use Sword Dance instead of Tempting Tango, effectively increasing Sword Dance's chances of appearing to 50%. The Dancing Dagger randomly uses the Dance command instead of a normal attack when the equipped character attacks with it.

Final Fantasy VI
Dance is Mog's main command ability, and acts as a combination of Animals and Gaia battle commands from Final Fantasy V. When Mog battles on a new terrain he learns the Dance associated with that terrain. When Mog uses a Dance he has a 50% chance to stumble and lose his turn if the Dance is of a different terrain than the current terrain. Upon Mog Dancing successfully the battle terrain shifts to the native terrain of that Dance and Mog enters a Berserker state, automatically using one of four random attacks each turn, each Dance having a different set of attacks and chance of using them.

The hidden character Gogo may also use the Dance command, but is not capable of learning new Dances, and is only able to use Dances that Mog has learned. Whenever Mog learns a new Dance, Gogo will become able to use that Dance as well.
