If you are talking about the dance at the factory, one of the songs was a Strauss waltz, either Artist's Life or the Emperor Waltz.

The dance was not in a factory, in the story it was held in a hangar at a USAAF airfield; I don't know if this was a Hollywood sound stage drafted to appear to be a hangar, or if it was an actual hangar, but my guess is that it was a sound stage because during the war actual USAAF hangars would have been thronged with aircraft and military personnel peforming their urgent, vital wartime duties.
shareYes, the waltz was Strauss's Emperor's Waltz.

I really love films and music from any era including those 'swing' music way before rock 'n roll. Even in this movie you can see the lively dance style of this era that can leave today's generation of young people who really are funny with their opinions about music and dance and dim as a 1 watt light bulb about the past. I laugh at them a lot and shake my head in utter disbelief.
Check the "Soundtrack Listing" on the lefthand column of the main IMDB page for this movie. You can probably tell which song is the one you are looking for as they are probably in the order they occur in the movie.
