Dancing on the Tables is a studio album by jazz bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, which was recorded in 1979 and released on the Danish SteepleChase label.

[1][2] In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow said "The bassist contributed four compositions, which are joined by a Danish folk song.

The nearly 15-minute "Dancing on the Tables" (which utilizes some childlike melodies) and the episodic "Clouds" are highlights of the continually intriguing and adventurous program".
