A [[Dance Battler]] uses his dancing techniques as a means of fighting, overpowering his opponents with unpredictable movements, all while [[Rule of Cool|looking cool]].

More often used by [[Magic Knight~~|Magic Knights~~]] than by [[Squishy Wizard~~|Squishy Wizards~~]], given the more physical nature of its use.

* Bolorenof in ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]'' combines this with [[Magic Music]]: His body has holes in his flesh that, when he dances, vibrates the wind going through them, making him a woodwind instrument. When dancing in certain ways, he produces songs that summon things to attack for him.
