Dancing with Danger is the second album by Leslie Phillips, released in 1984 on Myrrh Records. The album peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Top Inspirational Albums chart.
Critical reception AllMusic wrote that "while the focus of the album is on dance music, Phillips' pop smarts are already evident, and her songwriting is unconventional (especially for Christian music)."
