Dance (Final Fantasy VI)
From Final Fantasy Wiki
The Dance ability is Mog's special ability in Final Fantasy VI. It works similar to the Terrain ability in Final Fantasy V. When Mog selects a Dance, he will randomly perform one of four abilities. The odds that he will perform a certain ability are not equal. There is a 50% chance Mog will "stumble" on his first attempt in a battle if Mog is not on a home terrain, and if Mog succeeds, control over him is lost for the remainder of the battle or until Mog dies. Mog learns new dances by fighting in different areas. If Mog is in an area whose home terrain he does not know the dance for, he learns the dance. One thing to note, however, is that Mog will not learn a dance if he danced during the battle.
