And they are also performers whom Del Rey obviously looks up to for their artistry, despite the fact that in the present moment she is more-popular than either one of them. No, not all of the names just mentioned may be feminists in the rawest sense of the word. But as far as the music industry goes, they are perceived as trailblazers and living legends as far as their gender is concerned. That would be why for instance Lana gives a shoutout to her musical foremothers, Joni Mitchell, Joan Boaz, Stevie Nicks and Courtney Love. Rather we would argue that this track is premised on an idea such as feminism or the adoration of strong women. The lyrics feature what can perhaps be interpreted as a romantic undertone, with the addressee being referred to as “babe” and all. Also the chorus does, as the title suggest, feature the singer vigorously “dancing” with someone, an act which to some degree is reserved for lovers. But comprehensively, the song in its entirety doesn’t read as if it is about romance.
