Blood on the Dance Floor was an American electronica duo from Orlando, Florida, formed in 2007. The group's final line-up consisted of Dahvie Vanity and Jayy Von Monroe. The group released eight studio albums: Let's Start A Riot in 2008, It's Hard to Be A Diamond In A Rhinestone World in 2008, Epic in 2010, All the Rage in 2011, Evolution in 2012, Bad Blood in 2013, Bitchcraft in 2014, and Scissors in 2016. The group released several EPs and a remix album as well before announcing they will be disbanding in 2016.

The group's style has been described as electronica or electronic, but also heavily incorporates electropop,dance-pop and crunkcore.

Vanity stated in an interview that American synthpop artist Jeffree Star is a huge influence on BOTDF.

In 2007, Jesus David Torres, also known as Dahvie Vanity, started a trio called Love the Fashion with Christopher Mongillo and Rebecca Fugate. The trio was originally nothing but a joke, but soon developed into Blood on the Dance Floor. The group hit the studio and recorded their first album, Let's Start a Riot. Instead of promoting the album, the band continued recording and released their second album, It's Hard to be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World, later that year. Not being able to tour, Mongillo and Fugate left the band while Vanity toured the Orlando, Florida area. Vanity soon gained a large fan base called the Slash Gash Terror Crew, or in their alternative name, Slash Gash Terror Crue.
