You can end a dance by typing /stopdance or /stop, or by simply moving.
DANCE FLOURISHES
Each dance has a basic dance step, along with up to eight flourishes. Flourishes play special animations and provide brief bonuses to XP, but cost Action points.
You can execute a flourish typing the command /flourish [flourish number ]( ex. : /flourish 1 ) . Also, you can add flourishes at any time by typing /flourish [flourish number]( ex: /flourish 2 ).

The following songs are available to skilled musicians:
To stop playing, type /stopmusic ( or /stop ), use the corresponding Function key, or click on the Ability icon.
INSTRUMENTS
Based on your skills, you can play the same song with several different instruments. Songs will sound slightly different and provide you with unique flourishes depending upon the instrument you use.
Most instruments only need to be equipped for you to play them. However, organs and other large, unmovable instruments must be targeted ( single-click) before you can start playing the song. You must locate these instruments in the game world.
LISTENING TO MUSICIANS
Anyone who wants to listen to a musician for healing purposes can:

Dancers and musicians are more effective when performing in groups. Players who share the ability to perform the same dance or song can join together in a band or dance troupe and become more effective at healing.
The process for forming a band or troupe is identical to creating a standard group. To start a band, simply invite another player using the radial menu or the /invite [player' s first name] command.
Up to 20 people can form a band or dance troupe. The character who made the initial invitation is considered the bandleader (or dance leader) . Because the band is essentially a group, all group leader and group member commands remain the same (For more information on Grouping).
Once the band or troupe has formed, the bandleader is responsible for starting the song. The bandleader starts the performance using the same commands used in solo play ( /startmusic [song name]; or using an Ability icon) . All players in the group need to know the same song in order for the group to perform that song, but the dancers can use any dance. Once the bandleader initiates the performance piece, he will play a short intro. The group will then join in. At any time, any group member can insert a flourish of his or her choice.
Any member of the group can stop performing by using /stopmusic or /stopdance commands. However, the song will come to a more pleasing end if the bandleader uses the same command; once the bandleader brings the song to a conclusion, all members of the band will play an appropriate finale.
Other players will heal more quickly when enjoying a group performance. To watch or listen to a group, you can use any of the methods outlined in this chapter ( /listen or /watch; or choosing these options from the radial menu) on any member of the group.
