Beginning of 3rd level and every three dancer levels thereafter, a dancer learns a new mystic dance move. Some mystic dances require other mystic dance abilities as prerequisites. Performing a mystic dance requires a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity and costs one ki point to activate. She can maintain a mystic dance as a free action if it lasts several rounds. She can only have 1 mystic dance active at a time.
