Although the Dancer takes 120 battles to master and it has some good skills, when [[Aishe]] joins the {{Party 7}}, she has already mastered the dancer class. Aishe should be given the time to learn the [[Sword Dance]] skill as it is one of the best battle skills in {{Dragon Quest VII}}. It is also the most cost effective skill in terms of overall power.

Dancers were introduced as a vocation starting with Version 3.0, alongside the [[Fortune Teller]]. They are modeled after the abilities of Maya Mahabala. Dancers can support their allies by using songs and dances, can cast the [[Frizz]] and [[Sizz]] series of spells, and are capable of dual wielding one-handed weapons. Their weapons of choice are [[Knives]], [[Fans]], and [[Wand]]s. Although they have low HP and defence, they have a high evasion rate. As of yet, they are currently the only vocation that has access to two vocation-specific commands, taking over singing duties since [[Troubadour]]s do not exist in the game.
