Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dance, Girl, Dance is a 1940 comedy-drama film directed by Dorothy Arzner, starring Maureen O'Hara and Lucille Ball.Judy (O'Hara) and Bubbles (Ball) are dancers in Madame Basilova's dance troupe. Madame Basilova, once a ballerina in Imperial Russia, is grooming sweet, kind, graceful Judy to follow in her footsteps in the ballet. She is not grooming Bubbles, who is brassy and sexually available and far more at home performing burlesque routines than the sort of graceful dancing Judy is good at. Unfortunately, and much to the discomfort of both Madame and Judy, burlesque seems to all the work the troupe can get.A sudden tragedy leads to the dissolution of Madame Basilova's company. Judy has a scheduled audition with a high-class ballet company owned by one Steve Adams (Ralph Bellamy), but she chickens out. Bubbles for her part lands her own burlesque show, and gets Judy a job—but a job that Judy really doesn't like. Meanwhile, there are romantic complications, in the person of Jimmy Harris (Louis Hayward), a super-rich dude who has just gone through a divorce from his wife Elinor. A depressed Jimmy falls for Judy, but Bubbles sees dollar signs, and sets her cap for the millionaire.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })By the way, Ralph Bellamy does not get the girl. Ralph Bellamy never got the girl.

Burlesque: Judy is just no good at it. When she tries to do it, for an audition with the girls in hula costumes that Bubbles is late for, she can't. Bubbles on the other hand is excellent at it, shaking and jiggling and leg-kicking with abandon, and she becomes a big burlesque star.

Cat Fight: Judy's "The Reason You Suck" Speech at the show gets her a standing ovation. Bubbles then goes out for the rest her routine, and gets booed. This results in a punching, kicking, hair-pulling Cat Fight between Judy and Bubbles. Eventually they get hauled into night court where Bubbles is sporting a black eye.
