Jesus, it's like you're about to start singing Morrissy. GET TEH BLACK TURTLENECK OUT!
I skipped most of that school socializing nonsense- most of my friends were older by a year or two and that prom/school dance thing was not for my wallflower self.
Then I took dancing lessons in college and learned how not to step all over my dates (sadly, no one wants to dance anymore)

I know two dances. The one I do correctly with a girl when slow music is playing, and the one I do to every other tune that plays. People find that dance funny.

Pretty much. It looks kinda like a combination of that weird "crotch pointing" dance from the seventies, and the and a person with epilepsy attempting to do the jitterbug.

I'd laugh, but with my wife being a high school teacher, I may get roped into helping chaperon a dance with people dancing like that.

I have a teacher that chaperones everything, and I don't think her husband comes willingly...
It could be worse. I have a friend who turned up to a dance wearing a pinstriped tuxedo. He dances just like me. He does it with style though. We were the most...er...popular on the dance floor that night. I think my girlfriend was a bit embarrassed to be seen with me for a while...

Woah, woah, woah, girlfriend you say? Moving up the ladder or was this a work in progress? Last time I heard, your closest experience with the opposite gender was a mere dance...

Um, that was the mere dance in question. I had a girlfriend. That was the most we did beyond a hug hello and goodbye. At the time, I thought that was pretty good progress for 6 months time. I was only 13, so I guess that was good progress.

True story: I went to an all-girls high school. Around my sophomore year, there were rumors going around that the school (read: psychotic principal) was going to amend the rules for dances so that each girl had to bring a guy.
The backlash from the students and parents was so strong and so immediate that the principal ended up calling a student meeting and announcing that while she wouldn't confirm or deny that particular proposed rule change, we needed to be very careful about dancing with our friends, because (gasp!) people could think you're a... a... I can't say it....
Never mind those students who really do like taco shows, of course. We all know real women don't do that kind of thing.
(That woman--an ex-nun, at that--was what we call a fire hazard. Deeply in the closet, but totally flaming.)
