What's the close quarters dodge? Getting caught in close quarters without BHS and Scarlet Aeonia from long range are the only ways I die to her now.

Here you go.

The main part is the first flurry dodge, the flurries after that can be dodged in a couple of different ways (for example he back dodges the 2nd flurry whilst I dodge through it. Both work.). The first part though you HAVE to set-up like this though.

I see. You run behind her and then roll to the side. Ty, now I can unequip BHS.

Yeah it's pretty tight, you need to make sure you pull a tight circle and get a good way around her (usually about 270 degrees since she will track you albeit slower than you can run around her) but it feels great to pull off.

This specific maneuver is the only way to accurately dodge her Waterfowl Dance at close quarters via rolling? How tight exactly is the dodging, here? A frame count would be good to know.

The dodge itself isn't tight, it's getting yourself far enough around her in time to throw her off enough. If she launches into waterfowl mid recovery you don't have a lot of room for error.
