I wouldn't go as far as saying they're "exploiters". It's not any more "exploiting"than a combatant stacking defenses to try to make theirself invincible. Temploiters I tell you, temploiters! 
On high populated servers it doesn't bother me.

If dancers are supposed to fall then using a bug to avoid falling would be an exploit right?

That makes a difference because?
Players aren't supposed to be able to dodge 90% of incoming attacks, but defense stacking allows you to do so when done right (and with foods), that's exploiting.THAT makes a difference, because it GREATLY impacts gameplay.
Holding a wepon to prevent from falling is VERY minor compared to this. Dancers have asked for months to have the falling reduced at Master so they don't have to equip a weapon.
Some Dancers are also combatants. They get back from exploring and start dancing and forget to unequip their weapon and they're an exploiter? Uh, no, not even close.
Defense stackin is more exploiting than a Dancer equipping a weapon to dance with ever will be.

No, I don't cheat, because I'm not a defense stacker.

Actually, this whole 'exploit' argument is invalid because we DO still fall... it's just that for some reason holding a weapon keeps the animation from playing out, and we just continue to do the base dance. If you hold a weapon while you dance (as I do) watch yourself closely. Anytime you flourish but don't actually do the flourish animation(most noticeable when you're bandflourishing)... yep, you just fell.
And calling this an exploit to begin with is just silly.... I can only hope this post was made in jest.

Nope, it's not an exploit.
An exploit is finding a way around the system to give you an advantage. Since falling doesn't actually hamper you in any way (you still get your xp, etc.), then nothing is lost. You just save yourself some embarassment. And since embarassment isn't part of the system, no cheating is involved.
*DING* Next!!
