"Audrey's Dance" is an instrumental musical composition by the American composer Angelo Badalamenti for the television series Twin Peaks. It is the third track on the soundtrack album Soundtrack from Twin Peaks (1990). Like the rest of the soundtrack, it was produced by both Badalamenti and show creator David Lynch. "Audrey's Dance" first appeared in the show's pilot, aired on April 8, 1990. Named after the character Audrey Horne, the song was memorably featured in "Episode 2" when Audrey dances along to the jukebox in the Double R Diner.
"Audrey's Dance" has a cool jazz style with a distinctive walking bassline, rhythmic finger snaps, and drums played with brushes. The dance shares stylistic elements and melodic motifs with other pieces from the Twin Peaks soundtrack. Several variations and alternate arrangements of the dance were used throughout the show's run. Despite its title, the dance frequently accompanied characters other than Audrey, particularly Bobby Briggs. "Audrey's Dance" was reprised in a key scene from "Part 16" of the 2017 limited revival of Twin Peaks.
