Did you ever go to any dances when you were in high school? If so, what were they, and what was your experience?

I never went to anything while I was in high school. I was too shy to do anything! I hated that about myself and know I missed out on a lot of things growing up. I'm much better now after having 2 daughters; didn't have a choice after they were born. Had to actually start talking to people instead of running off hiding lol.

Nope. None. Never. Sadly...I was never even asked to go to a dance.

Oh yeah at least 2-3 times a month. We lived in a small villiage . had 1 small theater and they would show the same show for a couple of weeks. But the dances were so much fun. Friends from across the wide area would all show up. Never any fights we were all just so grateful that we had something too do and besides we had good bands. And when there was not a dance going on we got to rollerskate in the hall and then of course when we were through we had to sweep, mop and wax the floor. Ant then came the basket ball games and all the small schools would have a sockhop afterwards. Oh the good oh days.

I went to 2. One was like a welcoming freshman kind of thing then the other one was Sadie Hawkins sophomore year. Never went to a formal one, like prom. During sophomore year I stopped going to a traditional high school. But I did enjoy both of them.

I did not. I hated high school. I wasn't popular and didn't have many friends.

I went to my senior prom. I didn't get asked, but I had a great time with my friends and don't regret it. Besides, sisters before misters. ;)

I was shy too, still am. I was glad to be ignored in high school, it was better than being bullied some more. Still I went solo to two dances: the Sophmore Dance and senior year Homecoming. A bunch of girls went solo sophomore year and we danced in a circle. Homecoming however I got misunderstood and got saddled with a guy everyone thought was weird. He was supposed to help a girl from another school get in so she could party with her female friend at our school, but he showed up late and she had already gotten in. He thought it was a date and kept walking her around. Next thing I knew they fixed me up with him and he started walking me around, saying he didn't fast dance. Not the evening I had in mind. :angry7:

I did not go to any dances. I had no interest in anything that happened after school hours which includes senior prom, playing a sport, and grad night (night school was an exception).

I went to dances in high school. It was usually with my friends. I was shy so I didn't dance with a lot of boys. They weren't terrible experiences. I didn't have a good home life and it was nice to get out and have some fun. I didn't go to prom. I went to a sleepover and we stayed up late watching headbangers ball on mtv. :thumbsup:

Yes, when I was in Jr. High we had casual dances. About once a month the school would hire a DJ and charge us (the students) $2 for admission. It was usually held on friday's in the gym. We would go to our morning classes as normal, but the last 2 hours of the school day was reserved for the dance. Now on to my experience...
I hardly ever went to the dance, most of the time I just stayed in the classroom but the times that I did go, I didn't enjoy it, because I am a introvert that tried to force myself to be an extrovert to fit in with the other kids.

I never went to any dances when I was in high school. I was never part of the in crowd. So I never got involved in anything in high school.

Nope. Sure didn't. Never had any interest in going to any of them. I'm not a dancer. I don't dance, like ever. Period. Lol I did go to one once in junior high days. It didn't turn out to be much of a dance though. I went with a group of friends and we went just to hang out and goof off together. It got us out of our respective houses for a couple hours without any of our parents nagging us. haha

Yes, just one. The girl who I wanted to ask was literally asked just minutes before I was going to ask her. I was walking towards the library where I knew she was, a classmate was coming my way, I said hello and asked him if he was going to the dance. He said yes, explained he just asked the person I was going to ask, and my heart sank.
I ended up asking someone who didn't go to my school, but was someone I went to school with years prior. It ended up being a mistake. She appeared to have a miserable time, and we spent more time away from the dance just sitting and waiting for the event to be over... mostly with just awkward silence as I at least tried to converse about anything. I never could figure out why you would even waste your time going if you had really no desire to go in the first place?
She didn't ultimately sour me from future ones. However, I was ill for most of my junior year, and missed my entire senior year, which thus cost me the major dances.

I went to some of the dances when I was in high school. I preferred to do other things, so I skipped out on most of them even though I was in student council as well as the Junior class committee to set up Prom and decorated for the dances.

I never went to any dances since I was too shy. Never wanted to, and for the most part I don't care that I missed out on them.

I was extremely shy during my school years. Unfortunately this costs me to miss out on all school dances. I didn't even go to my own prom.

I never went to any. I went to a small school and I generally didn't like anyone. Most of the girls were unattractive too. Never any reason to go.

The only dance I went to in high school was my Senior Prom and that was nothing to write home about. I didn't have a date so I went myself. The dress I wore was a bridesmaid dress from my cousin's wedding. I felt so out of place, I was the first one to leave. I hated my whole high school experience. I was the quiet, shy type. But now after reading everyone else's replies, I don't feel so alone.

We only had about 1 dance each school year. I went to 1 once & it was OK. Nothing too special.

I did go to school dances when I was in high school. That was way back in the 50's. We had the twist then and it was not hard to learn. Hope everyone has a wonderful day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

Yes, I was a dancing freak when I was younger. It started when I went to a dance in Junior High School. Then I went to church dances, High School Dances and I spent a couple of nights every week in a Disco (I was dancing in the 70s). In High School I went to the Prom and I went to a Girls Pref. where I borrowed my parents car so I could drive.
My only regret was that I stopped dancing after I got married because my husband wasn't into it like I was. The good news is that I'm now single again and I now have the opportunity to "replay" that dancing phase, again.
:heart:

I only went to one of my high school dances and that was the home coming dance in tenth grade. I didn't go to either of my proms. And it wasn't cause I couldn't dance. I could. I spent my weekends in the teen lounge. There I could be who I really was. My school was very `stuffy' and filled with mostly rich kids who thought those of us who weren't upper middle class or better weren't worth their time.

My brother and I were home schooled so no we never went to any dances or any other school type functions. I don't know at this point if that was good or bad.
