''Let's Dance!'' is the 17th album by popular children's entertainers Sharon, Lois & Bram, originally released in the fall of 1995. This was the first Sharon, Lois & Bram album to feature a different repretoire of carefully selected pop tunes spanning over four decades of music from the 40s to the 70s. Unlike other Sharon, Lois & Bram albums, ''Let's Dance!'' features a smaller collection of songs, although each song is lengthier than those songs found on other albums of the trio. "''Let's Dance!'' is all about tunes and grooves, moves and memories. It's music for tots and kiddos and parents and grandparents. It's songs you hum, steps you dance, connections you make, fun you have. It comes from our hearts to yours... to pass on to the children and to remind us once again that a really great song has the power to catch you and keep you. Then - now - and forevermore."〔Let's Dance! Album artwork. Introduction from Sharon, Lois & Bram. 1995.〕 The album "contains simple, upbeat renditions of pop favorites from the likes of The Beatles and Stevie Wonder".〔''Maclean's Magazine'' November 6, 1995. Vol. 108, Iss. 45; pg. 72. "Let's Dance by Sharon, Lois & Bram". Chisholm, Patricia.〕 The album also features songs by other famous artists such as Melanie Safka, Nat King Cole, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and Barry Mann. The album was not meant to recreate the originals, but to "give them a kind of '90s, contemporary touch"〔''Pittsburgh Post Gazette'' July 7th, 1995. pg 2. "Kidding Around". McCoy, Adrian〕 The album was reviewed shortly after it was released and it was deemed "Sharon, Lois & Bram pull yet another one out of their trunk!
