Danced in the Fire is the fifth studio album by New Zealand singer songwriter Sharon O'Neill and first on the Polydor Records label.

A number of disputes followed, leading to an almost 5-year hiatus where O'Neill was not able to release music.

[2][3] "Physical Favours" was released as the first single in September 1987 and reached the top 40 in Australia and New Zealand.

During the legal battle, O'Neill began writing with others for the first time and some of this material was recorded for Danced in the Fire.

"[4] In a 2016 interview discussing album covers, O'Neill said "I always wore what I felt comfortable in... All I cared about was that I got to keep the leather jacket.
