On with the Dance is 1920 American silent costume drama directed by George Fitzmaurice, starring Mae Murray and David Powell, and released by Paramount Pictures. The film is a screen adaptation of the 1917 Michael Morton play by the same name.
Filming began in August 1919 when Mae Murray rejoined Famous Players-Lasky Corporation after having completed a term with Universal Pictures.
Actor Robert Schable had appeared in the 1917 Broadway play.
The Evening Post wrote that Mae Murray's work with David Powell was a "revelation", and that her dance work in the film was one of its "outstanding features".Toronto Star noted the film as a success and wrote than fans of Mae Murray and David Powell will hail the two stars returning to headline George Fitzmaurice next film The Right to Love. The Milwaukee Journal wrote that the film played Mae Murray's "dainty little figure and delightful dancing" to advantage.
An excerpt of the film is seen in the Paramount promotional film The House That Shadows Built (1931).
