3 stars out of 4 -- [A] story naturally about second-tier showbiz....A cult feminist drama...
USA Today
Rating: 2/5 --
Pioneering female director Dorothy Arzner, who took over at short notice after filming commenced, does her best with an inadequate script and a miscast O'Hara; she manages to bring the film to life from time to time -- usually when Ball is on screen.

Radio Times
Rating: B+ --
Arguably Dorothy Arzner's most personal film, this chronicle of female friendship is an anomaly: a feminist film made before feminism existed, directed by Hollywood's only female director, and a buddy picture before the genre was invented.

Dorothy Arzner's best film, Dance, Girl, Dance, spotlights women's inner worlds.

This jaunty RKO musical... was directed by Dorothy Arzner, and has been reclaimed over the years as a film of relevance to the feminist movement.

Senses of Cinema
Arzner's internal critique of Hollywood ideology (woman as silent object of male scrutiny). It works within the confines of a stock vaudevillian golddiggers comedy-drama.

Time Out
Without rising out of the cinematically conventional, the movie's self-reflexivity continually questions the gaze of the camera.

Product Description:
O'Hara as a lovely, young, aspiring ballerina falls into a livelier life in burlesque as a result of her competition with Ball as Bubbles, a firecracker burlesque dancer. Her efforts to redeem herself and direction by pioneer female director Arzner makes this a favorite among feminists. In any case, interesting for the early O'Hara and Ball roles.
