Dancer Hotbar Layouts and Guides
This page lists all player-created Hotbar (HB) and Cross Hotbar (XHB) layouts and keybinding setup guides for the Dancer job in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail.
DNCDancer
From the Near Eastern nation of Thavnair comes a troupe of bewitchingly graceful performers. Though certainly elegant and beautiful, their movements also speak of martial discipline ─ of a pulsing, persistent energy whose rhythm can inspire souls and soothe troubled hearts. Inured to the hardships of the road, these dancers have learned to land throwing weapons with the same exacting precision as their footfalls, removing any who would obstruct the endless beat of the dance.
LV 100 DNC Hotbar
Single target on right, AOE on left, dances and buffs on cross.

Valen Bree
Da'Momo's Dancer
I created my chotbars to be comfortable, practical, and aesthetic.(to me anyway) Nearly all same/similar skills are in the same position across all jobs/roles while allowing for as little finger gymnastics as possible.
My XHB is split between chotbars 2(left) and 7(right)
DoH - XHB - DNC
Just copied Nanaki's
DNC Companion Hotbars
for each job, I create a "hotbar" that is basically a monitor for any spell/skill/cooldowns I want to see the status of; I also have a hotbar with Role spells & skills, and, Sprint. These are the spells I have for Dawntrail. I use Hotbars 2 & 10 but you can use any Hotbars you want.
DNCy DNCy baby cool!
wanna Dance? let's DANCE! single target on the Right Trigger Crossbar skills, Fan Dances & AOE on the Left Trigger Crossbar skills (except for Last Dance) Buffs, Def, Movement etc skills on Crossbar 2
DNC 7.05
Updated for Dawntrail
Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)
Lv100 DNC 7.05
WIP with aoe abilities on the extended XHB
Dawntrail DNC for Left Handed
Puts most of the strain on the left hand, and off of the right.
Althea's DNC Layout
Single target on chotbar 1, AoE on chotbar 2. I change using the right bumper button (R1) and sit on the chotbar as needed. Possibly based on Squintina's layout with tweaks, I can't remember if I got my original layout from her or not.
Not updated for 7.0. Putting this up for a friend (and so I can transfer my chotbar to my alts)
7.01 DNC Raid XHB
My personal XHB for raiding Extreme, Savage and Ultimate. But also works for normal use.
DNC 7.0
I show Cross Hotbar 3 (Left) with both of the expanded trigger controls, so you can easily add in another 8 actions if you prefer, I use XHB 8 as a shared bar between all classes for traversal and general actions outside of combat. Role actions are consistent among my layouts, and so are general actions. The macro icon is a placeholder for a Tincture/Gemdraught.
FF14: DNC-7.0
Single Target (L)
Mobs (R)
Dancer
Bar 1: single target Bar 2: AOE Bar 3: XHB

DNC PVP Layout 6.55
DNC 7.0
Current WIP for updated hotbars in 7.0, focusing on minimising swapping hotbars in combat and keeping visual clarity on relevant buff cooldowns and maximising consistency across all jobs. Bar 1 is for single target, and Bar 2 for AoE.
The Glamour Plate button is being used in place of the newly added skill as needed, and the dye represents potion. Sprint and LB are macroed to L3/R3 respectively.
90 DNC wip
RT single target, buffs
RT LT aoe, healing
7.0 DNC
Gain Last Dance. (Teleport as Placeholder. Not actually too sure if this is a new button.)
Maybe play with where Saber Dance, Last Dance, Starfall Dance, and Fan Dance IV are. Might feel bad to hit those buttons in those locations.
Radulf Rushe DNC 100
Waiting for the new action images to get added in to fully get this good
Make sure to change Double tap L2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Left" and Double tap R2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Right"

Faye's New DNC Layout
The new DNC Layout I'm testing 05/22/24
Experimental DNC Layout Pre-7.x
Trying to standardize my XHBs across jobs, starting with DNC.
HB 1:
- RT shapes: single-target GCDs
- RT D-pad: single-target oGCDs
Sav's Current DNC Layout (6.55)
Current XHB layout; single-target on right, aoe on left, stances & less commonly used skills on HB 2.
Faye's DNC Layout
My current DNC Layout
Octa's DNC
did you know: peloton and sprint do not stack together, peloton's 20% speed buff gets overwritten by sprint's 30%
this is also true for every othe speed buff that is lower than another, for example ninja's passive speed boost
DNC from Bun Boss
from bun boss video but slighly modified
Dancer WXHB
Single Target on the right, AOE on the left, movement on LT > RT
Noko Steamdeck Dancer
How I set up my crossbars as a dancer on steamdeck (Currently level ~65)
I try to play every classes/jobs, thus I tend to reuse same slots for same "functionality" across jobs.

Rainbows DNC XHB
I'm a small streamer that loves FFXIV and many other things. The XHBs I publish are solely how I personally like to organize my Hotbars when on the controller! Feel free to use them if you too like them! Some are thrown together and some are planned out.

Simple Steps
A simple crossbar for DNC. Only the essentials, nothing terribly flashy. (My Closed Position is actually a cute little macro to let my fellow DPS know they're my dance partner.)
