Base Class: Bard
Many bards find delight in music, words, wit and poetry. Most of them use musical instruments for the purpose of powering their bard spells. But there is some that not. Some find that power in dance. Bards of the College of Dancers put their efforts in creating appealing visuals and beautiful body movement. By doing that, they inspire their companions, allowing them to be more efficient than normal.
Dancing Focus
When you join the College of Dancers at 3rd level you gain the ability to start a magic dance that empowers your abilities and your spellcasting. As a bonus action you can spend one use of your bardic inspiration and start dancing. While you do so, you use your own body as a spellcasting focus. Additionally, you can add your Charisma modifier in top of your Dexterity modifier in order to determine your Armor Class as long as you are not wearing armor. The dance itself is sufficient to satisfy any need for somatic components.
The dance lasts for one minute. It ends early of you are incapacitated or if your speed becomes 0.
You become proficient in the Performance skill and you double your proficiency bonus for said skill.
