If Dancer played like it did in FFXI - I'd definitely play that class, and I don't generally like to tank, but I really enjoyed it in FFXI. It was awesome for solo and group content! In fact I'm really hoping that they do add the dancer tank eventually!

Observation: Its kind of a superfluous question to ask if people would dare to play a class because of the classes attire, or to expect a class to be gender locked because of it. Seriously, at least half if not more of the Miquote females are men in real life, and there still are plenty of male characters even that wear the bards AF/Myth outfits and main bard.. so I think its a silly question to ask, because its not like its ever a big deal. Its a fantasy game.. and hopefully silly personal insecurities can be left in the real world. Just have fun and don't worry about it.
