I hear this song on a commercial about a dozen times a day. (by the Killers)

Is there any context in which the title text is grammatically correct? (I mean dancer without the 's').

Ooh! I thought of one! (An equivalent)

We are reviewing a medical report told in first person.

Are we patient? Or are we doctor?

Absolutely agree.

Mind you I have issue with S&G - "why don't you write me." I started a thread on it and was pounced a little by our American members.

It should be, "Why don't you write to me." A question mark is missing too.

It is also a false dichotomy, we can have a dancing or a nondancing human, or a human or none human dancer.

Perhaps, but not necessarily. We don't know by what criteria human and dancer are distinguished.
We assume all dancers are humans but we don't know that in this case.

Are we Dancer? Or are we Prancer?
