With the power Tempest Dance. Would it require 3 different targets ie:
A. then B. then C. all being different creatures,men ect.
Or could I attack A. slide 5 and attack B. then slide 5 again and attack A. again.

Daily ✦ Martial, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target:
One creature
Attack: Strength vs. AC
Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage. If you have combat
advantage against the target, the attack deals extra damage
equal to your Dexterity modifier.
Effect: You can shift 1 square and repeat the attack against a
second target. You can then shift 1 square and repeat the
attack against a third target.

By the wording of the effect, I would say they need to be different targets. Going 1st target to second target and back to first target is not going to a third target.

Also, you can't slide 5 squares, you shift 1 between each attack.

While it is not actually rules, we can look to the flavor text to give us some insight as to how the power is meant to work: "You lunge from enemy to enemy, giving each a taste of your weapon as you pass."
