depends on whether the system you're using allows for dance to be used for Bard skills. I know in D&D 5e at least specifies 'stirring words or music' as the medium for Bard abilities.
Yes, you must. Also, you can only advance your character beyond level three if you have mastered a traditional musical instrument in real life, like a harp, lute, drum or bagpipes.
Funnily enugh, himebrewed a class based in some fireemblem game. Something something war-dancer. Some strange mix out of bard and wyches from old warhammer.
It's be pretty weird since almost all their spells require verbal components and without a focus/instrument you'd need materials for many as well. So they'd be dancing while muttering aloud and pulling batwings and fireflies out of their cloths.

1. The muttering is actually just dirty talk
2. Her focus instrument is your boner. She plays the skinflute
I like to imagine contemporary musicians as fantasy bards. Well, Bowie would obviously also be a wizard. Mick Jagger might have a level in Thief or Assassin. Dio, Gaga, Madonna, Robbie Williams, Buckethead...
Made a bard/warlock who kills talented artists/performers/musicians for their patron in exchange for their skills. Constantly adopts features of those who are perceived as likeable/revered. Playing him as a narcissus type, much more into being seen by others as good as he perceives himself. Hyper manipulative, very vain, but not outwardly charming pretty clearly comes across to most as a scumbag but he's talented enough to be considered an eccentric artist at this point.. I enjoy it more than the usual charismatic/sexy bard. Inspired by this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMqn7fjYHbY
> Persuasion and bluff is your role.
> Bardic knowledge to infodump your friends meta knowledge.

Could a bard realistically be a poledancer or stripper? Even a prostitute? Worse - even an actor?
Absolutely.

Do I really have to play music as a bard? Can't I just be a storyteller or party animal?
Yes, you must. Also, you can only advance your character beyond level three if you have mastered a traditional musical instrument in real life, like a harp, lute, drum or bagpipes.
>"STIRRING WORDS or music"
>Damn so I have to play music
Music with my mouth... frick...

5.5e playtest has a "dance" bard, so that would work very well

Pick a musician or other performer you like and just do an impression of them for however long it takes it to develop into its own thing.

Suprisingly good with sword thanks to Snowflake Wardance and Song of the Heart
Why are Dragonborn feet so hot?

As a storyteller, no horny moron shit.
I have to rewatch the Gamers again.

Be the life of the party
