    Dancing is unisex. In fact, there is hardly any established dance that is NOT meant to be done by a male and female dancing together. There is no issue here.

    There are movements that people feel more feminine, but that's just cause people are too biased to realize that they are calling out to certain traits, not genders, within humans.
    And people are too biased towards the inequality too. Women doing masculine stuff?! Perfectly fine. Men doing feminine stuff?! Absolutely unacceptable. That's the reality of how the common Joe or Jane think. However, this is WRONG, and restricting dancer for that reason is just fundamentally wrong.

    By the way, Mobius Final Fantasy have a dancer too. And it is strictly male since there is no gender choice in that game and only special, unique classes change appearance outside of clothes...Granted, it does not actually dance at all...but hey. So Square Enix itself have nothing at all against male dancers.

But again, perhaps too much work for the effort to separate them.
    Hire any choreographer (and they will, that's a given) and you will have an endless supply of dance moves that are neither feminine nor masculine. No need to separate move sets between genders or making male use feminine moves or vice-versa. Why bother when there are more than enough moves that will perfectly match both?!

    Bunny suits are significantly different. They have...eh...adult connotations, due to their origins. As such people have harder time with that than a female boxer or a male ballet dancer, for example.
