0010478: Duchess starts shooting at my dancer with no reason
The duchess attacks my dancer "Ithithe Lolamavafe" as soon as they see each other.

No other dwarf attacks the dancer.
The duchess attacks no other dwarf than the dancer.
The duchess is in a squad. If only members of this squad see the fight then nobody seems to care about it. Her squad even helps with the killing.
If someone else sees them fighting result is that everyone attacks everyone. After the brawl is over around 70 out of 137 dwarves are alive (mostly military dwarves). None of the dwarves shows "He is an enemy of" in their thoughts so this doesn't look like normal loyalty cascade.

The duchess is in a watch tower. The dancer is just about to walk into her view. If you move them away fast nobody else starts to fight. As soon as the duchess sees the dancer they start to fight. If you keep them separated no fight starts. Nobody else attacks the dancer and the duchess attacks nobody else.

The fortress just had a elven army attack it at same time as an expedition returned from a mission.

Sounds like you have the exact same situation as me. I made a report a few days ago where my baroness attacked a dancer with a strange name for no reason which rapidly led to complete destruction of the fortress. To solve your problem, just remove your duchess from her squad and all will be fine. Here was my bug report:
