"Dance Dance Dance" is a song recorded and performed by Japanese collective unit E-girls. It first appeared on their greatest hits album E.G. Smile: E-girls Best (2015), and subsequently served as the single of their fourth studio record E.G. Crazy (2017). The track was released on September 30, 2015 through Rhythm Zone and Avex Music Creative Inc. in three physical formats—two CD's and a DVD bundle—and for digital consumption. The song was written by Lauren Kaori, composed by DWB and Nanna Larsen, and produced by DWB with Exile's Hiro. "Dance Dance Dance" is their second single released in 2015, with "Anniversary!!", to only feature selective members in the line-up.

Musically, "Dance Dance Dance" was described by music critics as a departure from their traditional J-pop style, and blends contemporary dance music with funk and disco. Additionally, the physical and digital packaging included the dance numbers "Hey! You!" and "Express (Do Your Dance)", the latter being a duet with the E-girls sub-group Dream, and both heavily influenced by electronic dance. Vocally, the first single only features the singing Shizuka, Ami, Karen Fujii and Reina Washio.

Upon its release, "Dance Dance Dance" received positive reviews from music critics, who commended the group's transition to dance music, and praised their vocal abilities. However, some did argue against the vocal performances and choices. Commercially, it experienced moderate success in Japan, peaking at number four on the Oricon Singles Chart and number three on the Japan Hot 100, published by Billboard. In order to promote the single, E-girls performed in the accompanying music video, which was directed by Kanji Suto, and depicted the band in a casino-like set-up. Additionally, the girls sung and performed the track on several concert and shows.
