"If I Can't Dance" is a song by British recording artist Sophie Ellis-Bextor for her third studio album, Trip the Light Fantastic (2007). It was written by Ellis-Bextor and Dimitri Tikovoi, while production was handled by Tikovi, with additional production by Brio Taliaferro and Jeremy Wheatley. It is a dance pop, electropop and disco song and it's a reference to the famous quote from Emma Goldman, "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution".
The song was scheduled to be released as the fourth single from the album, which was confirmed by the singer herself. However, the song wasn't released and it was included on the soundtrack to the 2007 film St Trinian's. The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics, with many of whom calling it a "delightfully self-aware cut which transport us to a world where the glitter ball never stops spinning."

Famous quotes containing the word dance:
“The city is all right. To live in one
Is to be civilized, stay up and read
Or sing and dance all night and see sunrise
By waiting up instead of getting up.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
