Swords Dance raises the user’s Attack by two stages.

This means your attack is doubled. Every stage adds .5x to the multiplier. (One stage is 1.5x, two stages is 2x, etc.)
Adding some additional information to MonkeyBusiness’s answer:The “stages” for stat changes apply the following multipliers to the actual stat:+6: 4x (8/2)+5: 3.5x (7/2)+4: 3x (6/2)+3: 2.5x (5/2)+2: 2x (4/2)+1: 1.5x (3/2)+0: 1x (2/2)-1: 0.67x (2/3)-2: 0.5x (2/4)-3: 0.4x (2/5)-4: 0.33x (2/6)-5: 0.29x (2/7)-6: 0.25x (2/8)
Basically, if the stage is positive, the multiplier is (2 +x)/2, while if it is negative, it is 2/(2 +x), withxbeing the stage number. If the stage is 0, there is no multiplier.
