I have been in Cnet past Day and a half grinding up Dancer. I am using a macro for the flourishes every 5 secs. Im using my highest dance as I gain the new dances. Im in a group of other ents. and I'm only getting 25 to sometimes 30 xp if I'm lucky. This is the same XP I was getting before novice. Am I doing something wrong or is this the correct amount of XP? Any suggestions would be very helpful.

It is possible that your group size has changed or that the average level of Dancer in your group has gone down (fewer masters/near-masters). The only way to make more xp from what you've described is to either get more people in your group or get higher-level people in your group. (Or get more people to watch your group...but that's not something you can really control.) Another thing you can try is to attract patrons to watch you specifically--you get a small xp bonus for that. Try /greeting, /waving, /smiling, /flirting, etc with people as they come in. The chances are good that if you interact (and there's not a buffbot too closeby) you'll be making xp hand over fist.

Thanks for replying. The group is smaller today. Thats probably the big part of it. I'm try the greeting thing on them as well and see if that helps.
Thanks

performing a flo every 5 seconds is useless 
you get XP every 10 seconds and won't get more XP if floing more, just burns more action

Yep yep. And it's true that the XP bonus starts to really jump up with higher level entertainers doing what they're higher level in.
We did a little bit of informal testing on TC with this once. A Master Dancer who was dancing with a group generated a much higher group XP bonus than if that Master Dancer was playing music at say Musicianship II from the entertainer trees. Same thing in reverse - a Master Musician playing with the band generated a lot more bonus XP for everyone than if they were coming back to pick up lower levels of dance. Which makes sense to me, conceptually.
So, big group = good XP bonuses. But, big group with a lot of master or near-master characters performing what they're higher levels with will generate even more.
