College of Dance

As a minstrel begins his song, out on the stage steps a dancer, clothed in a delicate costume. She moves in a way that seems almost magical, gracefully waving around her hands and props in a dazzling display of movement. On the battlefield, she uses her magical dance to inspire those with whom she fights. While her resilliance leaves much to be desired, no fighter on the battlefield would want to see such an opponent.

Fancy Footwork

When you join the College of Dance at 3rd level, you learn how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal. During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature can't make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn.

Dance

When you join the College of Dance at 3rd level, you learn wondrous movements that invigorate allies to heights. Also, you gain proficiency with Performance if you do not have it already, and can double your proficiency bonus for it. 

You can expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration as an action to grant one target within 5 feet a magical burst of speed. The target can then use their reaction to move up to their walk speed and make one weapon attack. After taking this action, you can take the dash, disengage or, dodge actions as a bonus action. You cannot be wearing any armor when you use this action, unless it is light armor.

Unarmored Defense

Also at 3rd level, your fluid and beguiling movements while unarmored distract your opponents as your moves flow into one another.

While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your dexterity modifier + your charisma modifier.
