As mentioned, other instances of features that confer movement not necessarily limited to one's own turn are written to allow the creature to move without it being their turn. Even the Banneret being able to let allies move with their 10th-level feature, in a book released in the same broad "set", is not written as using the Dash action.Keep in mind as well that the Ready action, which can be used for movement akin to using the Dash action, doesn't use the Dash action for that movement but specifically states a creature can move up to their movement speed as a reaction. You don't take the Ready action and then Dash as a reaction; you take the Ready action and then use the ability to move as a reaction conferred by having taken the Ready action.So yes, that feature does let the Changeling take the Dash action before anyone else's action. But the Dash action doesn't give them the ability to move when it's not their turn, and thus effectively does nothing. It's a failure of mechanics-writing, and it's an entirely unforced error because there is no reason the feature isn't worded like every other feature that allows movement external to the regular rules regarding movement.</blockquote>
