Dance Hall is a 1929 American pre-Code musical film directed by Melville Brown and written by Jane Murfin and J. Walter Ruben, based on the short story of the same name by Vina Delmar.

[4][5] The film centers a love triangle with a shipping clerk competing with a dashing aviator for the affections of a young taxi dancer.

[9] In September, The Film Daily reported that Melville Brown had been signed to a long-term contract by RKO, and that Dance Hall would be his first project with his new studio, and in early October, it was learned that J. Walter Ruben would be contributing to the script's dialogue.

[10] Also in October, RKO announced that Arthur Lake and Olive Borden were attached to the project,[11] and also that Margaret Seddon, Ralph Emerson and Tom O'Brien would be joining the cast.

[17] Film historians Richard Jewell and Vernon Harbin in The RKO Story (1982) considered Dance Hall, a "sour note ..." yet "... mildly diverting."
