So I found this homebrew on the D&D Wiki called "Dancer" seems interesting to have in a party along with a Bard could be interesting RPing that would happen here is the class https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Dancer_(5e_Class)
All I did was a skin through I'm not going to give a full breakdown on this class, but my first impressions of the the class is that there are definitely some features that are over tuned or that I just have personal gripes about. Here's a small list of what stands out to me:
Class Features
With legs like these: Everyone already has proficiency with unarmed strikes so that whole part is just unneeded. Plus adding the using a spell after an unarmed attack is good, but the fact that they also gain advantage with there level 7 makes it a bit too much. Though that is more so a gripe about the level 7 than the level 5, a quick fix to this would be to add a small snippet about only gain advantage on unarmed or melee weapon attacks would help.
Demand Perfection: I understand that even though the rogue's slippery mind feature is a level 15 feature so this one should be better, but gaining two proficiencies plus an increased to dex saving throws seems a bit much to me.
Like Nobody's watching: Even though I do enjoy how this works, and it is funny, but it just feel like a class capstone to me. It just feels like multiple class features put into one ability.
Subclasses
AC = 10 + dex + cha: This feature should not be limited to just two of the three subclasses, it would have been fine to leave this as a level 1 class feature instead. Plus the spell casting subclass is still a dancer, it would make sense that it would still have this feature.
Blade Twirler (fighting style): Having all the archery style I think is a bit over doing it, I feel that it should be similar to the bard's college of swords where it only have dueling and two-weapon fighting.
Blade Twirler (strikes of succession): Just needs to be turned into extra attack with slashing and piercing weapons. Having it limited by if the first attack hits just making it feel lack luster since this is the more martial version of this class.
Blade Twirler (Combat Acrobatics): The DC should be changed to you a scaling DC instead of a fixed one.
Blade Twirler (Dance of Blades): This needs a time limit, not just maintaining concentration. Maybe 1 minute since it function similarly to the wizards blade song. Also I believe that this should be limited to 2 per short rest as well, but that's just me.
Overall I do enjoy the idea of a class that's basically a cha monk, but there are definitely parts that needs to be tweaked in my opinion.
I am playing one, specifically a ringleader and I have found the class to be less support focused then I was expecting. But the abilities fit very well and make it feel like a class that would be made officially but is not as bards are the staple for magic users which gain their abilities from their words, actions and such. But I always thought that a dancer would be less spell focused and I think that this does a very good job of it
