Should Bard be allowed to continue auto-attacking when performing dances?

Similarly as melodies can be weaved during other abilities, should Bards be allowed to continue auto-attacks when performing Dances?

    It would be cool, but at the same time kinda breaks the theme of doing a dance. I think the alternative that someone mentioned is to have each tick of the dance add a stack of resonance, which I personally like better. I don't think there's a whole lot of merit to adding more auto attacks when you aren't able to build the resonance stacks to make them impactful. You'd gain a little more dps, but if each tick gave resonance you'd gain a little more of what makes bard a bard as a tradeoff imo. And honestly if running menacing you'd probably break even on DPS as opposed to adding extra auto attacks anyway.
