I’m about to get my 2nd level in rogue and I just want to figure out how this will work. Swords bard has a feature that increases movement speed by 10 feet when you take the attack action. Does that also affect the dash bonus action for cunning action? I’m a small character with 25 movement so having 35 ft doubled to 70 would be very helpful if that’s how that works, still 60 isn’t bad. Just wanting to clarify.

So, the way Dash works is that, as an action (or, in the case of Cunning Action, a BA) you add your base speed, whatever it is at the time, to your movement for the turn.
In your case, because you have a feature boosting your base speed by 10 feet, your base speed is 35. A single Dash will add 35 feet to your speed for the turn. (Remember: With your action and Cunning Action BA, you can Dash twice in a turn for a total of 105 feet.)

Perfect thanks!
Easiest way to think of the Dash action is to think "Add an extra movement action".
