Passion Dance is the fifth album by jazz singer Roseanna Vitro, released in January 1996 on the Telarc Jazz label.
"[A] superior set by a very appealing singer," writes AllMusic's Scott Yanow in his review of Vitro's Telarc debut. Commending Vitro as "a versatile vocalist who is not afraid to take chances," Yanow also cites the contributions of both pianist/musical director Kenny Werner and a roster of guest artists including "altoist Gary Bartz, trumpeter Tim Hagans, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Elvin Jones."
A contemporaneous review by Washington Post music critic Mike Joyce is similarly impressed:
A less talented singer might find herself intimidated by the company Vitro keeps on her new album. [...] Yet Vitro consistently holds her own on this diverse collection of standards and original compositions. She conjures, by turns, the warmth, dizziness and passion of being in love.
