[edit] Music video
The music video shows the members of the band performing at a homecoming dance, and simultaneously attending as nerdier versions of themselves. The "Dance, Dance" music video premiered on October 11, 2005, and has retired from Total Request Live. The music video was filmed at Salesian High School which is located in New Rochelle, New York, a suburb of New York City. At the start of the music video, the song playing in the bedroom of the girl Pete asks to the homecoming is "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More 'Touch Me'," which was their next single.
The video is usually a few seconds longer than the original song because there are many scenes involving the band members engaging into (improvised) conversations or acts including a brief reference to Full Metal Jacket. A cameo is made by Ben Jorgensen of the rock group Armor for Sleep as well as Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. They have also said that it was taken from the movie Sixteen Candles.
