This article is about the figure-skating Theets that appear in the Figure Skater plays of Princess Peach: Showtime! For the small Dūke that appear in It's Showtime, Grape! from the same game also referred to as "dancers", see Dancer Dūke.

A Dancer[1] is a subcategory of Theets in Princess Peach: Showtime! who collectively specialize in figure skating group choreography performances.

They appear in two stages, A Snow Flower on Ice where there is a group of eight dancers, and A Parade on Ice where they appear in larger numbers. In both stages are they important gameplay elements. During timed line-up challenges ("Synchronized Skating") for Figure Skater Peach, each of the eight offer a Sparkle piece if Peach spins around a dancer while they have spotlight lit on them.

They are relatively easy to corrupt by the Yami no Top Skater into following him, and Peach must reclaim the dancers during the boss fights, after which Peach and the eight dancers circle around the Yami no Top Skater as a performance finale.

In contrast to most other transformation-specific Theet groups in the game, the dancers do not show signs of missing their dedicated Sparkla (Figure Skater Sparkla) nor do they show signs of having worked with her previously.

A Snow Flower on Ice

Gathering the dancers

Three dancers welcome Peach and Stella at the start of the level and say they will hold an ice show soon. Peach finds herself having to help them get to the venue by defeating a Skater Dūke and spin away a pile of snow.

Two other dancers meet them outside the entrance to the venue saying that various Skater Dūkes have hijacked the performance, and the five of them plus Peach decide to head to their dressing room that is uphill on a path away from the venue.

Three others are encountered on a rink outside the small rooms, trapped inside snowmen or piles of snow, with two of them audibly freezing, where Peach must free them (Defeating the two nearby Skater Dūkes is not required for her to do). With all eight now together, they all agree that Sparkle has given them better spins to the point where they offer Peach a Sparkla platform to become Figure Skater Peach.

The venue show

Re-entering the venue, the Skater Dūkes flee as the dancers arrive. After Peach has performed three introductory exhibitions, four of the dancers enter the stage for the Synchronized Skating Exhibition that Peach must spin around to make them join her.

Having left the rink afterwards, all eight join the rink after the main part of the "Sparkling" exhibition, this time as a timed challenge with Sparkle pieces on offer.

After the challenge, the Yami no Top Skater arrives, corrupts the dancers with ease and heads off with them towards his own tent.

Defeating the boss

As Peach has chased them as they went into the tent, the corrupted dancers pose alongside the Yami no Top Skater. Peach competes against him in a boss fight and swirls him around, flinging the dancers rapidly and dizzily away from him in random directions, leaving Peach a small timeframe to uncorrupt the dancers by spinning around them, before the figure skater reclaims any still-corrupted dancers by skating at high speed.

With all eight dancers eventually cured, they spin around the sulking Yami no Top Skater in the middle of the rink to defeat him.

A Parade on Ice

Nine dancers partway through the parade

They are very close to starting an ice street parade when Peach arrives, at which point four dancers greet her while they and four dancers on top of the cart complain about nearby Skater Dūkes. After Peach defeats them, the parade starts.

The four that were on top of the cart remains there throughout the level, and eight dancers perform the stage's timed Sparkle piece challenge, six of which greet her at the end of the parade.

Eight entirely different dancers than those in the street have been corrupted by the Yami no Top Skater, whose dancers must be cured and the boss defeated in the same way as in A Snow Flower on Ice.
