Can you still cast spells while dancing or are you just stuck in it?
If i can still do **** while dancing then I can think of a few things to do with it, if not then I might just scrap it,
Either way its only good for about one or 2 levels.

"Starting an enchanting dance effect is a standard action. You must concentrate each round to maintain the dance" So no, you would not normally be able to cast spells while using the enchanting dance ability.

Hmm Would I still be able to attack or something? and I mean full attacks and stuff not the surprise attack you get at level 2

You could look into resorting to something like Sonorous Hum to maintain your concentration actions...

Concentration (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/spellDescriptions.htm#duration)


Concentration
The spell lasts as long as you concentrate on it. Concentrating to maintain a spell is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Anything that could break your concentration when casting a spell can also break your concentration while you’re maintaining one, causing the spell to end.

You can’t cast a spell while concentrating on another one. Sometimes a spell lasts for a short time after you cease concentrating.

This is actually a really good idea, the only question is does this work for spell like abilities?

Frick! Sigh..well i had a feeling that would be it anyway, why give you a surprise attack if you could just full attack anyway?

Yes, your second mind can perform any purely mental actions for you, including concentrating.
