“ Dash Dancing is the basis for all of your ground movement. It is performed simply by tapping left and right repeatedly on the analog stick while grounded. If your taps are done shortly after each dash and before the maximum dash distance is reached, then the dash animation will be canceled by a dash in the opposite direction. Dash Dancing is maintaining this state of constant dashing. ”
