This sounds like a lot of the dance songs of that period except that it doesn't reference a specific dance. The backing singers on this were a bit irritating, so I couldn't make it through much of this, even on a second attempt.
Billy Bland (1932-2017) was the youngest of 19 children and started his singing career in 1947. "Let the Little Girl Dance" reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960; his next releases reached #94, #91, and #90.
Bland released his last single in 1965 and then left the music business. In the 1980s, he opened a soul food restaurant in Harlem.
