Final Fantasy Tactics Dancer has below average growths overall and especially bad HP and MP growth, but they’re better than the growths the Bard gets access to.

Moveset: Dance – Final Fantasy Tactics Dancer
| Ability Name | JP Cost |
| Witch Hunt | 100 |
| Mincing Minuet | 100 |
| Slow Dance | 100 |
| Polka | 100 |
| Heathen Frolick | 100 |
| Forbidden Dance | 100 |
| Last Waltz | 100 |
Dancer’s moveset is roughly the opposite of Bard’s. In practice, it’s a better moveset overall, because inflicting bad statuses on all enemies turns the battle to your advantage much more than buffing your allies. It’s still not a very useful skillset.
Reaction Abilities – Final Fantasy Tactics Dancer
| Ability Name | JP Cost |
| Fury | 600 |
| Bravery Boost | 700 |
Fury increases PA by 1 every time you get hit. Like its counterpart on Bard, Magick Boost, it’s an alright Reaction Ability. The problem is that it’s competing with much more alluring options for that slot.
Bravery Boost increases Brave every time you get hit although, by the time you’re unlocking Final Fantasy Tactics Dancer, which has pretty steep unlocking requirements, you’ve almost assuredly maxed out your Bravery by utilizing Ramza’s skills.
Support Abilities
None
Final Fantasy Tactics Dancer doesn’t offer any unique Support Abilities, so there’s nothing to discuss here.
Movement Abilities
| Ability Name | JP Cost |
| Jump +3 | 1000 |
| Fly | 5000 |
Jump +3 is a very useless skill that costs a lot of JP. Time Mage’s Teleport skill offers infinite Jump, and Ignore Elevation on Dragoon likewise eliminates Jump from the calculation, so there’s no advantage to using Jump +3. Fly, on the other hand is… also extremely useless.
It combines Ignore Elevation with the ability to ignore terrain hazards, but again, Teleport also does those things.
Final Fantasy Tactics Dancer Overall Assessment
Dancer is probably slightly better than Bard in terms of its moveset, but it also doesn’t have access to Move +3 so there’s no compelling reason to pursue unlocking Dancer at all. It’s a mediocre class with very steep requirements to unlock and it’s just not worth it.
