Tap Dance is a name for two distinct abilities in the Dragon Quest series. In most titles it is the skill equivalent of Drain Magic, where as in games developed by Level-5 it is a Minstrel skill unrelated to magic.

Appearances

Dragon Quest VI

Tap Dance absorbs MP from the enemy, and is learned by advancing to rank 7 of the Dancer vocation. The amount of MP absorbed is dependant on the user's level, and calculated as Lvl/4+5.

Dragon Quest VII

Tap Dance (Sidestep) is learned by Aira, and Amateurs (rank 5 of the Dancer vocation). Sidestep is also learned by Wigglys (rank 2 of the Slime vocation). The absorption algorithm is the same as before.

Dragon Quest IX

This ability is learned with 55 skill points allocated into Litheness skill. It increases evasion by 50% for 6~9 turns.
