Exit the south doorway and follow the path where you will encounter another Divine Beast Warrior. Past him will be the Cleansing Anteroom Chamber site of grace.

Go up the next set of stairs to meet Leda. Invade her through the red summon sign and defeat her team so you can loot Dane's Footwork from Dryleaf Dane's corpse.

Meeting Dryleaf Dane First is Not Required

Dryleaf Dane will always be part of Leda's team regardless if you met him at Moorth Ruins and started his questline first or not. You will also encounter Leda at Enir-Ilim as part of the DLC's story, so this item is not missable.
