A Dance Battler is someone who looks like they're dancing when they get into a fight. This takes quite a bit of effort to make it look plausible, but it's not unheard of. Being a good dancer requires a degree of agility, flexibility, and coordination, three things that can go a long way in a fight as well. Plus, it looks cool. There are several ways to go about this: Either way, it can be annoying to fight someone like this, since it's hard to tell what's an attack and what's just a fancy step. Examples of Dance Battler include:

  • A Dance Battler is someone who looks like they're dancing when they get into a fight. This takes quite a bit of effort to make it look plausible, but it's not unheard of. Being a good dancer requires a degree of agility, flexibility, and coordination, three things that can go a long way in a fight as well. Plus, it looks cool. There are several ways to go about this: 1. * The character is a practitioner of the martial art known as Capoeira, which combines elaborate defensive movements with well-timed attacks. This is the route usually gone down by a Fighting Game character, e.g. Elena, Bob Wilson, Eddie and Christie, etc. 2. * The character is a superbly-skilled dancer and just happens to know how to fight as well, fusing the two, e.g. Duck King, Dee Jay, etc. 3. * The character either practices Drunken Boxing or is just really drunk. 4. * The character is just plain nuts. Either way, it can be annoying to fight someone like this, since it's hard to tell what's an attack and what's just a fancy step. A telltale sign you're fighting someone like this in a Fighting Game is that they're always sweeping one foot and then the other behind themselves. Not to be confused with "Dance Battle", a phrase sometimes used to refer to Rhythm Games. Compare She Fu, which can be combined with the Dance Battler style. A reasonable skill to teach someone in the Wax On, Wax Off method. Gives a whole new meaning to "Dance Sensation". Compare/Contrast Musical Assassin and Magic Dance. Often goes hand-in-hand with Confusion Fu. If the Dance Battler can Summon Backup Dancers, be very worried. Let's Dance usually is not meant literally, but can be. Examples of Dance Battler include:
