Shattered Kingdoms

Syntax: sing '<dancing lyric>'

The melody of dance has an infectious rhythm which compels all around the
bard to dance uncontrollably. For those trained in the skill of dance,
all of the usual benefits and drawbacks apply, including the inability to
perform attacks like bash and trip. The dance is much more hazardous for
the untrained. Their uncontrolled foot movements make them easier to hit
instead of harder and they are unable to flee. While a bard is not forced
to dance by his own song, he may elect to dance to increase the song's
power. If so, his allies become immune to the melody.

The excerpt above shows two things. The first is while dancing. The second is if i sing first then dance. The pet in my part starts dancing, but unlike other songs, he continues to dance even after I start dancing myself, which is supposed to give party allies immunity. Shouldn't they stop dancing at that point? All other songs that affect party members, ie, songs of silence, stop affecting party members after you dance. This one does not.

I'm guessing that once you start dancing, any allies affected by the spell can stop whenever they'd like by using the stop command. You could order your pet to stop dancing, but unfortunately you can't order while singing.
