Baskers of Limelight
Anything created that illicits an emotional response can be considered art. Writers pen the story, musicians compose the song, painters color the landscape, but dancers simply dance. It is the only artform in which the performer is the entirety of the artistic medium, putting themselves on display for their passion. They are mavens of distraction, for no person is truly more at-home as the center of attention than a dancer.
Captivating their audience with their enthusiasm, grace, and force of personality, dancers use dazzling flares on the battlefield to support their allies, and distract their foes.
Flair and Panache
Drawing the comparison between a bard and a dancer is inevitable; but the two are compliments, not competitors. While bards actualize their magic by performing or reciting tones of power, the dancer uses beautiful dance flares to externalize and influence emotion. The two work separately, yet cohessively, for a bard's music decorates time and the dancer's beauty decorates space. Anyone can dance, but few can claim to have gone through the practice, study, then application of this artform that makes one a dancer.
