[[Summary::Twirling in battle to the beat of some primal heart, the Dancing Goddess style lets you dance across the battlefield, dodging blows and countering with whirling blades in perfect dizzying tempo.]]

Developed by worshipers of a multi-armed goddess, they sought to replicate her eternal dance. Dances which create, dances which protect, and dances that destroy and ultimately symbolize the eternal cycle of creation and destruction. The practice eventually spread out to non-worshipers by traveling bards and other performers enchanted by the beautiful dance techniques and poses, as well as its usefulness in a fight. Developed after the fall of the Temple of Nine Swords, it never came into official use but is passed on through bards and other performers of the arts.

The dancing of this discipline is as spiritual as it is martial, and some of the higher level abilities draw on the power of the goddess herself for supernatural effects. Because of this spiritual connection, it is best suited for crusaders and swordsages.  The weapons associated with this discipline are those of the goddess; falchions, rapiers, scimitars, whips, and any light slashing weapon. Practitioners favor strong dexterity over raw strength, and the skill associated is Perform (Dance) ([[Cha]]).

A crusader<sup>ToB</sup> or swordsage<sup>ToB</sup> may replace one of his disciplines known with the Dancing Goddess discipline.
