I'm wanting to take long exposure shots of dancers and would like the flash to fire at the end of the exposure instead of the begining to increse the depth of field right as the shutter closes. Is that possible using the on camera flash of a T5i and if so what are the settings?
Thanks,

As eBiggs said, you're looking for second/rear curtain sync. Just one note, it won't increase depth of field. Not sure what you mean by that. But if you're trying to "freeze" your subject in the middle of a jump or something, having second curtain on will help the movement caused by long shutter speed to move "into" the frozen subject.
Just note that this is easier said than done. To do it properly you would most likely need multiple off camera flashes. It takes a bit of experience (or experiment) to get the right mix of ambient and flash exposure to make the effect look good. And you really need a power flash and a dark background to really freeze the subject if there's enough ambient in the room to see movement blur in the first place. The reality is that most photos you see with this effect have had some amount of Photoshop done - sometimes a whole lot.
