Dances have been important parts of celebrations and rituals since the birth of civilization. Whether used for simple entertainment or for significant religious ceremonies and practices, dance has been passed down through the ages just like music, storytelling, and other artistic traditions. No one can say exactly when dance became an integral part of human culture, but it’s clear from observing Pokémon such as Spinda and Maractus that it has been an important part of life for many living things since before the time of man.
A Dancer has learned to apply the art of dance to life as a Pokémon Trainer in a variety of ways, ranging from teaching their Pokémon elegance and tempo to augment their fighting capabilities to applying the acrobatic maneuvers of dance to their own battle techniques. This makes the Dancer a flexible Class that can appeal to many different Trainers. Martial Artists may use the Class to supplement their offensive Moves while Ace Trainers and other more passive Classes may use Dancer Features to play a more active support role in battles.
