    It seems more like zombies were brought back to dance versus actual Dancers being necromancers to me... >3>

    "Using magic to animate the remains of the deceased, throngs of the hopeless and grieving would choke the streets in processions of living and dead, booming in chorus as they danced the Totentanz in a form of morbid catharsis."

    Sounds like necromancy to me.

    The idea of dancer was not the traditional necromancer but it gained its magic from the practice of it. I loved this interpretation of it and I wouldn't be surprised if the practice of the necromancy arts came back in a similar fashion. You have to remember this is still an eastern game so their idea of a necromancer will probably not be the western version of it.
