}} | The Dance class of World War II were armed trawlers of the Royal Navy. They were used for anti-submarine (A/S) and minesweeping work and were nearly identical to the {{sclass2-|Isles|trawler|4}}, of which they are usually considered a subclass. One Dance-class trawler (Sword Dance) was a war loss, and one (Saltarelo) was transferred to Portugal in 1945. Four were transferred to Italy in 1946: Gavotte, Hornpipe, Minuet and Two Step. None remained in service with the Royal Navy by the end of 1946. Ships in class- Built by the Ardrossan Dockyard Company, Ardrossa, UK
