***Piercing Performance.*** All dancing blademasters dance differently, some in different styles, some with a different amount of swords. The thing they have is common is dedication to their craft and perfection of the art of movement.

These blademasters seek out a challenge, an excuse to perform and prove their skill. None of them wish to simply win, they intend to dazzle with flawless footwork and immaculate incisions.

***Dancing Swords.*** The dancing blademasters take their name from their enchanted swords. Experts in mundane swordplay, the dancing blademasters have developed a long range fighting style.

As their swords hover, flit and dance through the air in a series of graceful strikes and efficient parries most witnesses describe the event as a performance akin to a musical or ballet.
