Ven a bailar conmigo (translation: Come and Dance with Me) was the Norwegian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki performed by Guri Schanke.
The song is a Latin-inspired number. Schanke sings about how much she loves to dance and urges her unnamed listener (in Spanish) to "Come dance with me". BBC commentary during the Contest explained that Schanke had participated in a reality-television show with a dancing theme, thus explaining the lyrics.
It was performed 19th in the semifinal following Macedonia and preceding Malta. At the close of voting, it finished in 18th place with 48 points, making it Norway's first non-qualification from the semi-finals.

I wanna dance, I wanna feel your body next to mine
Feel the touch of your skin
In every move, I feel the beat in every breath I take
I feel the rhythm of your heart
When I hear the music start
All I want is to be here with you
Oh, ven a bailar conmigo, come dance with me tonight
Let’s feel the beat, feel the heat, you and me
Ven a bailar conmigo, let’s dance the night away
Just move your feet to the beat and dance with me
Ven a bailar conmigo
The way you move, the way you dance makes me feel alive
I wanna stay in your arms
It’s in your eyes, it’s in the look that you’re givin’ me
I feel the rhythm of your heart
When I hear the music start
All I want is to be here with you
Oh, ven a bailar conmigo, come dance with me tonight
Let’s feel the beat, feel the heat, you and me
Ven a bailar conmigo, let’s dance the night away
Just move your feet to the beat and dance with me
Ven a bailar conmigo
Ven a bailar conmigo, let’s dance
Woo, oh…
Ven a bailar conmigo, come dance with me tonight
Let’s feel the beat, feel the heat, you and me
Ven a bailar conmigo, let’s dance the night away
Just move your feet to the beat and dance with me
Ven a bailar conmigo, let’s dance the night away
Just move your feet to the beat and dance with me
Just move your feet to the beat and dance with me
Ven a bailar conmigo
