According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Dance, Monkee, Dance" - the fourteenth episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (12 December 1966).  It was written by Bernie Orenstein, directed by James Frawley, and featured the songs "I'll Be Back up on My Feet" and "I'm a Believer."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "A lifetime contract of dance lessons keeps The Monkees on their toes until the group tap into a scheme of their own."
