Posting for my wife, because she doesn't speak much or write in English.
My wife recently mastered the dancer proffession with a bit of my help, but now she wants some combat proffession so she can go with my in hunting trips.
What type of combat prof do you recomend? Pistols, UA going up to TKA, Swords, Caribine?
please let me know

I think master TKA with one of the elite ranged lines to get ranged mitigation 2 is a really nice combo with master dancer. She could do the same thing the other way around (master a ranged, and get melee mitigation 2 from any of the melee lines) if she likes shooting things better. TKA just has really nice perks like meditate and boost, so that's the way I'd go if I ever dropped BE.

Well...
As a dancer you need a huge action bar. This also means you have smaller mind and health bars. Unless you want to severely sacrifice your dance endurance by cutting down the action bar (which I refuse to do... my character is a dancer first and foremost), you are going to have troubles in HTH combat. I have found most dancers who are also brawlers (I know a few) have very little endurance compared to me, and seem to have to rest 2x as often. On the other hand if I get into HTH combat I'd be incapped in no time flat.
To me that means it makes sense to go ranged, and that left me with the choice fo carbs or pistols, since Dejah's small mind bar doesn't give her the room to really be a rifleman. Carbs seem to use a tad more action than health relative to pistols (though I never sat there and crunched the numbers) so, again, since she has a big action bar, I went with Carbine. Works really well. But again, don't get into HTH combat or you are toast in 2 hits.

((Same as Chessack, I decided not to migrate my stats from what I started as, since I care most about dancing. Rikasee is a Rodian, so that means her action stats are wonderful, mind is ok, but she isn't very strong. I think you said your wife is a Twi'Lek? They are a little less fast and a little stronger, if I remember right?
I had to get Krayt armor made to get a composite suit light enough for me to wear, and the pistols specials tire me out (health wise) pretty quickly if I am not buffed. As a Twi'Lek, I think your wife might have a little less problem with armor. I would agree that pistols or carbines might be fun.
Oh! And when your wife starts dancing after fighting, she should remember to take off her armor again. I laugh every time I see someone dancing in heavy composite boots and leggings begging for a stim shot. ^_^))

As a dancer/pistoleer (twi'lek), I maxed out my secondary stats, then balanced out my primary stats to 700 each.
- My maxed Quickness and Stamina make up for the reduced overall Action
- My secondary stats are high enough to wear any armor I want
- My balanced primary stats minimize the number of incaps.
Actually, as I've been tweaking this, I think I'm going to change my primaries to 800 health, 900 action, and 400 mind. Mind doesn't get hit nearly as often, and my specials reduce my action pretty fast - especially in armor.
In any case, I think maxing the secondaries is the way to go. And when I plan on dancing for a very long time, tatooine sunburns send my stamina through the roof.

I agree with sticking to something that will alow you to keep the action stat as is. I've been having fun with pistols. The animations are fun and sexy and I think it compliments the character. ( I LOVE roll shot)
