If multiple Pokémon have Dancer when a dance move is used, the slowest Pokémon will move first ([[Lagging Tail]] and [[Full Incense]] are ignored), even during {{m|Trick Room}}.

If the Pokémon with Dancer is {{status|Confusion|confused}}, it may hurt itself instead of copying the move, even if it is protected by a move like {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Mat Block}}. If a Pokémon has {{status|flinch}}ed, this also applies to moves it subsequently tries to copy with Dancer. A Pokémon with Dancer that is locked into a {{cat|Consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed move}} (such as {{m|Petal Dance}}) or any move by {{m|Encore}} or a held {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice item}} will still try to copy the move, but will fail unless it is locked into that same dance move; if a Pokémon uses Petal Dance via Dancer while locked into Petal Dance, this usage does not count towards the 2-3 turn duration. If a Pokémon with Dancer is holding an [[Assault Vest]], it can still successfully copy [[status move|status]] dance moves.

{{m|Lunar Dance}} is copied after the original user faints. If a Pokémon copies {{m|Petal Dance}} via Dancer, it will not be locked into the move. If {{m|Feather Dance}} is reflected by {{a|Magic Bounce}} or {{m|Magic Coat}}, Dancer will not activate for either the initial usage of the move or its reflected use. If the Pokémon with Dancer is under the effect of {{m|Taunt}}, it will still try to copy a [[status move|status]] dance move, but will fail.
