The '''Dancer''' is an elegant [[Nobody]] that appears mostly in [[The World That Never Was]], around the '''Naught's Approach''' area, as well as in the [[Twilight Town]] '''Mansion Basement: Corridor''' (just before the Pod Room). It is controlled by [[Demyx]].
The '''Dancer''' is a high-ranking [[Nobody]] controlled by [[Demyx]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.


==Appearances==
==Story==
* [[Twilight Town]]
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
* [[Hollow Bastion]]/[[Radiant Garden]]
During the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]], [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] try to help [[Leon]] and the others fight off the [[Heartless]]. However, Dancers arrive, forcing Sora to defeat them before moving on.
* [[Olympus Coliseum]]
* [[The World That Never Was]]


==Anatomy==
==Design==
Notably more brightly colored and feminine in appearance than other Nobodies, Dancers wear pink bell-bottom pants with a white Nobody symbol printed on one leg. They also have pink beanie-like hats on that cover where their eyes would be, with a long, pink, braid-like growth sprouting from under the caps. Dancers also seem to wear dark, heeled boots with toes that point up at sharp right angles, as well as dark bracelets on each wrist, both with a small spike on them. They also have dark armor, resembling the top of the Nobody symbol, that cover their chests. This armor is worn somewhat like a halter top gown, as it exposes the Dancers' shoulders and terminates in a collar. Their hands are blades and their mouths look to have been sewn on into a permanent, eerie grin. Dancers move quite gracefully, gliding across the ground while their feet glow pink.


Dancers are of average height, wearing a pink beanie cap, with a loose ponytail-like ribbon, and a black chest plate. The arms, waist, and sides are left uncovered, with bell-bottom pants with the Nobody symbol covering the legs. Two black wristbands and pointed, black high-heeled boots finish its outfit. This is unusual, since most (non-humanoid) Nobodies are colored in greyscale. Dancers also are usually seen with an eerie smile.
The Dancer is based on the {{ff|Dancer (job)|eponymous job class}} from ''Final Fantasy''.


Dancers are one of the few enemies in the series that have an explicitly female appearance.
==Strategy==
The Dancer will kick Sora vigorously for an extended period of time. Each kick sends Sora a few feet into the air. The most deadly attack comes when the Dancer is sliding with glowing hands in its "low posture"; if one touches Sora while doing this, it grabs Sora and jerks him around in a dance before kicking him for high damage. This can make Sora lose significant amounts of his total [[HP]]. To avoid this, use [[Magnet]] or [[Explosion]] to stop its pursuit and leave it wide open for an aerial combo.


==Fighting Style==
The Dancer often counters with its '''Swing Toss''' or consecutive uses of '''Rising Dance Attack''' after flinching or having an attack blocked.

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 below.) They are difficult to defeat in large numbers.

==Journal Entry==
''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.''
 
==Trivia==
*The Dancer nobodies appear to use some form of the ''capoeira'' martial arts style for its basic kicks.
