Don't Stop The Dance was the second single to be released from Bryan Ferry's Boys And Girls album in 1985. The single was edited by Bob Clearmountain and was coupled with an instrumental called Nocturne. The single peaked at number 21 in the UK charts in September 1985. A special 12" re-mix was also done for the 12" single release, which included an instrumental version of the song, and also on the limited addition 12" picture disc. The 12" version appeared on CD for the first time on the "Price Of Love '89 R'n'B Remix" CD single. The single and Instrumental versions have not appeared on CD as yet.
