I read that you need 1.5x each stat category to be able to power stance weapons, and some weapon types aren't compatible with others, but if you dual wield the same one and have enough stats, you should be fine. If you have two different weapons, then you need enough stats to power stance the one with higher stats.

Example: a greatsword requires 28 strength and 14 dexterity (no intelligence or faith, or you would need these too, I think), so you would need 42 strength and 21 dexterity to power stance.
