My Feet Keep Dancing

The third track on Risqué features tap dancing by Eugene Jackson, Fayard Nicholas and Sammy Warren. As a single it reached number 42 on the R&B chart and number 101 on the Hot 100 in December 1979, and number 21 in Britain. Along with Good Times and My Forbidden Lover it reached number 3 on the disco chart. Daryl Easlea of the BBC wrote that it shows both Chic's intelligence and sophistication and that it underlines how dance is a celebration of life, even with the sound of vaudeville tap dancing as the solo. Paul Lester of the Guardian read it as a song about immersing yourself in hedonism to escape the gloom of rejection. Andy Beta of Pitchfork called it a dancefloor anthem in the vein of They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, and noted references to the Savoy, Studio 54, the Latin Hustle and Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Robert Christgau wrote that it and Good Times surround the sweetly romantic A Warm Summer Night.
