Locations

 * Hollow Bastion
 * Twilight Town
 * The World That Never Was

Kingdom Hearts II
''A dancer. A high-ranking Nobody. It skates around the ground and quickly moves away when approached. Wait for the end of its attack to retaliate. When it approaches with a low posture, look out!''

''If cornered, it retaliates with its buddies with kicks and other attacks. Fight carefully when outnumbered.''

Strategy
The Dancer has a very effective fighting style. It will kick Sora vigorously for an extended period of times. Each kick sends Sora a few feet into the air. The most deadly attack comes when the dancer is sliding with glowing hands; if one touches Sora while doing this, the dancer grabs Sora and jerks him around in a dance before kicking him for high damage. (This is the "low posture" the journal mentions above.) They are difficult to defeat in large numbers. Another attack is that the Dancer will grab Sora by his head, skate around, and fling him into the air. This can make you lose up to 30% of your total HP.

Etymology
The Dancer is based on the Final Fantasy job class of the same name.

Trivia
