I was checking out the quests in eisely and during the entertainer part where you dance for people, they have a buzzer that goes off when your 5 minutes dancing is almost up, is this to help people that go afk and dance?

Not at all! 
It was very helpful for me, because if it hadn't have been for the timer's buzzing, I would have just kept on dancing instead of moving on to the next mission. I'd have lost all perception of time, and I tend to ignore system messages, so I'm glad the timer is there.

I also found it helpful as I had gotten involved in conversations and would have lost all track of time. Though it did scare the crap out of me when it first went off.

Is there a way to make your dance/music routine macro beep at you before it ends, so that you can remember to press it again (without recursion)? I often do get caught in conversation.

There is... use "/alarmaddin 0 0 Time to press a key"
This will make an audible alarm and put up the system message "Time to press a key." You can customize this in all sorts of ways of course as well, but this should help.

I make mine send a /tell to myself like, "******************RESTART MACRO******************"
And then I copy that exact message with all the *'s into chat colorization and make it bright orange so it stands out.
If I want a quiet option, i do the same thing but with /echo.

Or you can add a command to the end or your macro like
/tell n'jessi ** Restart me! **
Ack! Warryyr beat me to it ... and had a more helpful message.

I've thought of sending a tell to msyelf, but I figured it would mess up any conversations I was having in tells with the /reply feature. I'll have to try the alarm.

Tee hee. The first time I heard it, I started looking round the cantina to see why we had to evacuate.

"Air raid! Hit the deck!" it scared me too, fortunately I saw the message before I stopped dancing. (for roleplaying perposes, I dive to the prone position whenever a lazer blaster goes off. Sure it can't technicly hit and hurt me, but I yell at them for it anyway. "Hey watch it! Lazer burns don't go with my outfit!")
The way I keep myself pressing my routine macro, is I just memorize the entire thing so I can glance at myself "I'm on the 2nd flourish7, 20 seconds to go..." heh, it works. Also, I glance at the waypoint readout and occasionally do the double take "Oh, quest over already? Wonder how long I've been dancing..."

You could use /echo to color a Reminder line
Thing about echo is it appears on what ever chat tab you have slected, so you can't Miss it
