For Dancers Only is an album by jazz pianist Junior Mance and bassist Martin Rivera that was released on the Sackville label in 1983.[1][2] Though the front cover credits the album to Junior Mance and Martin Rivera, the spine and disc label both credit it to Junior Mance alone, and the liner notes characterize Rivera as a sideman.
