Is Prom Only Fun if You Dance?

It's almost prom time, so put on your boogie shoes and dance to the music! Unless, of course, you're a high school boy who doesn't like to dance.

The men of the 2013 graduating class at Affton High School are thinking about skipping prom since they don't like to dance.

Alison Nixon, a math teacher at Rogers Middle School and the mom behind the Affton Class of 2013 Parent Booster Facebook page, posted about the issue on the class' page:

I've been hearing that some of you don't want to go to prom because you don't like to dance I don't really like to dance either BUT, The Old Rock House isn't just a big room with a dance floor. In fact, the dance floor is only a small part of the venue. This prom is really more of a big party where you can mingle with your friends, eat some good food, and listen to good music. There are three floors at The Rock House, only one of them has a dance floor. This is the only senior prom you will get!! Please consider asking a friend to join you or go with a group. Your classmates and I have worked extremely hard to make sure that everyone will have a great time!!

It got us here at Affton-Shrewsbury Patch wondering: Have senior men always been a little afraid to dance at prom? Did you go to your prom? Did you dance?

The class of 2013 could learn a thing or two from brothers Ed and Richard Mueller, who dressed in white jackets and drove Chevy convertables to pick up sisters Tina and Ginny Sacco for the Affton High School prom in the 1960s. Check out the YouTube video above.

We want to know: Is your son or daughter planning on going to prom? Would you let them skip it if they didn't want to dance?
