My only issue is that the actual dance concept seems woefully oversold and that's a bit of a shame to me. The dances are basically 1-minute upkeep buffs for you and another person that require a little DDR minigame to get maximum value from. I was hoping they'd be a more integral part of the job but I'm still having fun leveling it ATM.

As others have already said, having enjoyed 2.x BRD and 4.x BRD with Bloodletter/Mage's procs I also enjoy DNC's less static rotation. The ability animations flow together beautifully while not looking overly feminine IMO, and honestly if the dances were a bit more than just a slightly interactive maintenance buff it would be my main for sure. Right now I'm having a blast leveling it but not sure it's "main" material for me. Can definitely see why it has tons of appeal though, which is where I suppose I and the OP differ.
