Whenever you gain the spotlight and lack the vulnerable and restrained conditions you can start dancing in a rythmic way. As long as you are dancing you have a rhythmic aura a very close range around you. Allies (including yourself) within this aura gain a +1 bonus to their evasion or a +1 bonus to attack rolls, you choose which effect is active when you start dancing and you can change the active effect whenever you are in the spotlight.
