Dervish Dance:
Prerequisites: Dexterity 13, Weapon Finesse, Perform (dance) 2 ranks, proficient with scimitar.
Weapon Finesse:
Benefit: With a light weapon, elven curve blade, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.
A scimitar is not a light weapon, elven curve blade, rapier, whip, or spiked chain.
Does this mean Dervish Dance requires weapon finesse with a weapon other than the scimitar before you can take Dervish Dance? That doesn't make sense to me.
What am I missing? Also, what book is this feat from?
Dervish Dance requires the Weapon Finesse feat. You don't have to choose a weapon for the Weapon Finesse feat; it works with all the weapons listed in its description.
The benefit of the Dervish Dance feat is essentially that it also allows you to use the Weapon Finesse feat for scimitars, plus some other benefits (such as using DEX instead of STR on damage).
The Dervish Dance feat is from the "Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea World Guide" book.

D'oh! I thought you had to pick a specific weapon for weapon finesse!
Sorry about this waste of forum space everybody.
*edit* Thank you!
