"The Dance" is a country music track composed by Tony Arata and performed by Garth Brooks. It appeared as the final song on Brooks' self-titled debut album and was subsequently released as the album's fourth and last single during spring 1990. The song has become widely recognized as Brooks' most iconic work. Brooks himself has attributed much of his early success to the consecutive popularity of this song alongside its successor.
