Overview
Dance covers rhythm, balance, and stage presence, from club floors to formal ballrooms. It gives a character a way to command attention, read a room through movement, or stay graceful under pressure. It also doubles as a cover for people who spend time in clubs and venues, and as a way to pass among a crowd without drawing the wrong eyes.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dance only for show?
No. It also trains balance and body control that help in many physical situations.
Can it help in social scenes?
It can open doors in clubs and at parties, since a good dancer is welcome in places others are not.
How high should I take it at creation?
Skills cap at 6 during character creation and 10 afterwards. Take it high if it defines your role, and around 2 to 3 if it is a supporting talent.
