As of 10/15/16, the locations of the individual thorndancers are now shown on the minimap, making it decidedly easier to track them down.
The Thistleleaf Thorndancers were a bit hard for me to find at first. I finally found them around the outside of the area. Keep looking.

Description
The Thistleleaf sprites have gone completely mad. I suspect they are being manipulated by some very mischievous Thorndancers. Please, friend of the forest, seek out these seductive troublemakers and bring peace to the shallows.
