Does anyone know of ways to gain versatile performance, other than through Bard, Deific Obedience (Shelyn) and the Warrior Poet archetype of Samurai?

Skald, of course.
Any Samurai or Cavalier can take the Order of the Songbird, not just the Warrior Poet.
Also two prestige classes give versatile performance with limited choices.
Sphere Singer and Ashavic Dancer.
VMC Bard will give you versatile performance and even allows you to retrain all the skill ranks in those two skills for free. VMC Bard is probably one of the best.

Thank you! Dance is definitely on the agenda, but spellcasting is not, so those prestige classes aren't viable in this case, alas. I'll have to think about other samurai and cavaliers, and whether the dip is worth it versus, say, Skill Focus to boost acrobatics.
Amazing, how 6 ranks per level (vigilante) can feel restrictive.

Good call! We don't use VMC, so it had not occurred to me to look at it, but it sure exists.
Edit: it would become available at level 11, which is very late for an important aspect of the character (tumbling). still, I am glad I looked it up to refresh myself on it, so thank you.

A VMC with cavalier as the secondary class would get the first order ability (Versatile Performance for Order of the Songbird) at 7th level.
I'm trying to think if there's any other way to get the cavalier's Order ability. There are archetypes that grant Mount, Challenge, Tactician, and Banner abilities, but I can't find one that grants Order.
My alternative would be to find a really big boost to Acrobatics. I'm looking to make use of the *Up Close and Personal* Vigilante talent, but the character has a better charisma than dex - and is going to take a lot of ranks in perform (dance), anyway.
