if you're not falcon, marth or fox, your dash dance won't have very frequent applications. don't worry about dash dancing until you've mastered elementary spacing.
I'm going to disagree, you can use dashdancing to your advantage with any character.
Link and Falco get many advantages from it, moreso link than falco. It's pretty much the only way I can think of that link gets grabs... lol.

What do you mean by spacing? keeping the range correct for my moves?
When we say spacing, we mean being aware of the length your moves can travel as well as being aware of the length of your enemy's moves. You want to be able to tell intrinsically how much of a reach they have at any given time and exploit it. If you are playing a character with a move that will outreach theirs, you can use it to keep them at a safe distance and prevent them from retaliating.
When someone has "good spacing" it usually means they stay at the very border of the opponent's attack range and exploit it when they barely miss an attack. Dashdancing lets you move in and out of their attack range repeatedly, making it difficult for even very skilled players to tell if their hits are going to connect; additionally confusing them as to if they are within
your attack range. If they throw out a move and you're dashing away, you can just dash back in and punish. That's what makes dashdancing amazing.
