In this video, we take a look at the rotation of the Dancer as it looks when you initially unlock it. We look at the single target rotation and the AoE rotation. We also talk slightly in-depth about Closed Position and how it and its different buffs work in different situations.
Some time is also spent on looking ahead on some of the Endwalker changes including Flourishing Symmetry and Flourishing Flow.
If you find that some things are going a bit fast or a bit slow, I invite you to speed up, or slow down or even pause the video for your convenience.

I really like that you go through these special states that some jobs does – and you go through it by stop up and explain rather than just mentioning it! 👍
Just started DNC today and your guide was a godsend. But i almost fell asleep sometimes as your voice is too soothing, like the Bob Ross of FFXIV tutorials.
(6.1 Changes below!) Welcome to Endwalker! Here are any significant changes related to this particular guide:
All of the changes mentioned in the video, including Flourishing Symmetry, Flourishing Flow, potency changes, and AoE options changing to match for Standard Step, have been implemented. Additionally, Shield Samba’s cooldown is reduced to 90 seconds.
6.3 Changes:
Curing Waltz can now be cast while performing Standard Step
6.2 Changes:
Nothing!
6.1 Changes:
1) Flourishing Symmetry and Flourishing Flow granted by your weaponskills have been renamed to Silken Symmetry and Silken Flow. The original buffs are still in the game, and is granted by an ability learned later (Flourish!)
2) Standard Step and its dance steps are considered Weaponskills now. This does not really affect you or anyone else for that matter at this level.

I just picked up dancer and this helped IMMENSELY, thank you so much
Wow, it's amazing that it's so hard to find nice, clear, concise overviews of jobs like this. Thank you so much! I hope you are planning on releasing one for higher levels too, so people can plan hotbars accordingly
This was so helpful thank you so much!!!
Just wanna say I only use your guides to learn anything
Great guide! Simple and to the point, but hitting all areas of the job 👍

I have remade this guide for Endwalker recently, and I recommend you watch that version of the guide instead of this one:
