"Let Her Dance" is a song by the Bobby Fuller Four. It was the group's fourth single under Del-Fi Records, and the first to achieve national attention.

"Let Her Dance" is a modified version of an earlier Bobby Fuller song, "Keep on Dancing". The modifications came as a result of producer Bob Keane, who slowed it down and added a bottle-tapping rhythm to it (inspired by Fuller's brother Randy tapping to the song with a beer bottle). Randy Fuller was also responsible for remaking the bass line.[citation needed]

The single was first released in June 1965 on Mustang Records, backed with "Another Sad and Lonely Night". While becoming a local hit on the Los Angeles charts, it underperformed on the national charts, missing the Top 100 at No. 133. It was re-released multiple times afterwards (including a release by Liberty Records), but it did little to change its chart status. Despite this, it remained a popular song for the group, and was performed live on Shivaree[2] and Where the Action Is.[3] It was also released on the LP KRLA King of the Wheels in 1965, and later on I Fought the Law in 1966.[4]
