Well, from a lore perspective, the job crystals (MCH excepted) all talk about the "myriad deeds of <job>s from ages past", so your dancer crystal would presumably have been owned by many dancers before you and thus contain a wide range of dance motions.

That's a genuine concern, but it's a separate issue from merely having different motions. Neither gender deserves to get animations of lesser quality, nor to have motions intended exclusively for the other one shoehorned into its animation set.
