Base Class: Rogue
Masters of blade, spear, whip, and staff, Dancers of this Choreo blend artistic grace and martial prowess to put on breathtaking displays that are as beautiful as they are deadly.
Their performances call for more than just raw strength or speed, but precision and control of both one’s weapon and body, with Dancers often showing how well they can dodge a weapon as well as wield one. Devoting one’s self to the study of this Choreo is not for the faint of heart, as this style calls for the Dancer to take center stage and put one's life on the line, both in performance and in combat. Some consider this Choreo to be the counterpart to a certain Bardic College, though most practitioners of this Choreo are quick to dismiss such comparisons, typically remarking that Bards rely too heavily on magic to awe and captivate a crowd, whereas Dancers rely purely on their own skill and ability.

Saber Dance
Performing Time: 1 action
Movement: 30 feet
Duration: Instantaneous
While using your movement, you make an attack with a melee weapon that has the finesse property. If the attack is a critical hit, you can add your flare dice to the damage roll.
It does not count against the number of flares you know. While other choreos might adapt weapons into their dances, this choreo specializes in this flare. You can add your flare dice to the damage you deal with Saber Dance on an attack roll of 19 or 20 (before adding modifiers).
Dancing Blade
9th-level Choreo of the Brandished Blade feature
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one meleeweapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed or heavy properties. The weapon becomes a dancing blade imbued with a facsimile of life until it is
reduced to 0 hit points, you die, or you use this feature again. It is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands.
In combat, the dancing blade shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you command it to take another action as a bonus action or as a part of performing your Saber Dance flare. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the dancing blade can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
Once you create a dancing blade with this feature, you can't do again until you finish a long rest.
