The "Dance, Dance" music video premiered on October 11, 2005, and has retired from Total Request Live.

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.
