Extendedance Play (stylized as ExtendedancEPlay) is a studio 12" EP by British rock band Dire Straits, released on 14 January 1983[2] by Vertigo Records internationally, and by Warner Bros.

The cassette release of the EP is called Twisting by the Pool, after the hit song of the same name on its first track.[4]

The EP consists of upbeat tracks with a rock and roll, jazz and swing feel. It is the first release by the band to feature drummer Terry Williams, who filled the spot after drummer Pick Withers left the group in November 1982.

This EP has never been released on compact disc; however, the song "Twisting by the Pool" appears on the compilation Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits and a live version of "Two Young Lovers" is featured on Alchemy: Dire Straits Live. A very rare CD-Video release exists, however.

ExtendedancEPlay, también conocido como Extended Dance o Twisting by the Pool EP en referencia al primer tema, es un EP de la banda británica Dire Straits publicado tras su cuarto álbum de estudio, Love Over Gold. En un intento por volver a la sencillez y al sonido de sus primeros trabajos, el álbum recoge tres canciones con un estilo más desenfadado que su antecesor. La sustitución del batería Pick Whiters por Terry Williams supuso un apoyo a la hora de modificar el estilo de los temas debido a su anterior presencia en el grupo de música bailable Rockpile.
