Trivia
This marks the Paramount Pictures debut of Clara Bow. She was chosen for the role of Katherine "Kittens" Westcourt after the studio's first choice, Betty Bronson, was rejected after several screen tests; director Herbert Brenon stated that "when she tried to be sexy, she looked like a little girl that wanted to go to the bathroom."

Dancing Mothers is unique in two ways...its ending and showing how women have minds and opinions of their own. While most Hollywood Melodramas of this period had happy, "Pollyanna-ish" endings...Dancing Mothers strays in a most realistic and refreshing way. The Mother (Alice Joyce), tired of being taken for granted, goes out on her own and leaves her selfish daughter (Clara Bow) and husband (Norman Trevor) behind. an ending that todays audiences do not have a hard time swallowing, but audiences of the 1920's expected everything to be tied up in pretty Hollywood ribbons and all made good. And bravo for those who chose to have a woman hold her own and stand up for herself and not give in to what societal norms would dictate. Strong women were not too very typical in the silent era.
