The Dance Smartly Stakes is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race run annually during July at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario. A Grade II stakes race raced on turf, it is open to horses three years of age and older.

Inaugurated in 1986, it was raced on dirt through 1989 at a distance of 1⅛ miles. In 1990 it was switched over to the turf course and raced that year at 11/16 miles after which it remained on the turf but at its original 1⅛ miles.

It was raced as the Woodbine (Breeders' Cup) Handicap until 1998 when it was renamed to honor Dance Smartly, a Canadian and United States Racing Hall of Fame inductee and one of Canada's greatest racing fillys.
