No you have to cast guard tambor which requires a harp to be out. If you switch weapons it goes away.
When he dances he can not attack he can only move. Until he gets the passive that lets him keep dancing while being attacked, he will stop dancing if he is attacked.
And lastly yes he has to keep the harp equipped.

I think that Prism helps but the passive that I was referring to is called Screen Dance in the Beautiful Life tree.
No prob glad I could help.

I'm not sure I understand, the way I read the skills description it only needs to be from the Music Pleasure line. Moving March is in this line, and it stays on if you switch weapons. So can't someone with a bard sub do moving march, then the main bard can do one of the dances, and the bard sub can switch weapons back to their primary and the dance stays on??

Unfortunately Moving/Swing march don't count when it comes to using Dance
You can only use dance when the other payers are actively using guard tambour, mana tambour, or hit march.
BUT HERE'S SOMETHING YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW!:
The bard using the Dance skill can also use ANOTHER tambour skill as long as he switches it on AFTER he switches on dance.
For instance, the following is possible:
2 Bards:
1st Guard Tambour
2nd Dance of Magic AND Mana Tambour
or
1st Mana Tambour
2nd Dance of Valor AND Hit March
etc. etc.
3 Bards:
1st Guard Tambour
2nd Dance of Magic and Mana Tambour
3rd Dance of Valor and Hit March
or
1st Mana Tambour
2nd Dance of Healing and Guard Tambour
3rd Dance of Wizadry and Hit March
etc. etc.
the combinations keep going...
And for those who were wondering bards CAN attack when using these dances and tambours.

Ah Shadroth, I was hoping you'd answer, I knew you'd be able to explain it. I was trying to figure out why I couldn't get my dance going on the weekend, it was the first time I've ever had a second pure bard in a party, so I was wasting time trying to figure out the dances because I hadn't got a chance to experiment with them before. Now I know, much thanks.
