A sweaty, writhing mass of teenagers who gather together for a school-sponsored Friday night of grinding and generally throwing themselves at each other. Typically set to bare-bones rap designed so that you can't do many moves aside from grinding.

If you want to have a good time without getting crushed, stay on the edge of the writhing mass, where you can still socialize but you actually have room to dance.
I took a big chance at the high school dance with a lady who was ready to play.

The closest you can get to fucking while wearing clothes.

Supposedly wholesome school-sponsored events usually featuring a "DJ" who does little more than play unedited Top 40 songs . Parents fuss over their "Little men" or "Young ladies", taking an interest in snapping photos and pretending like this year's Homecoming will include intelligent discussion and sophisticated dancing. In reality, this could not be further from the truth.

Even the most heavily chaperoned of high school dances degenerate into grind fests and other acts of douchebaggery including but not limited to; lesbian grind trains, grinding, mosh pits, premature ejaculation, awkward not-dancing, oral sex, condom inflating, drug usage, and abuse of the mechanic "sloppy seconds". Just about anything is possible during one of these "dances" except for cultured, legit dancing.

High school dances occur on a dance floor or, more colloquially, a "grind floor". These floors range from appropriately sized to "holy shit, it's hot in here and I can't move". The more extroverted and/or horny students congregate in the center while those who are more conservative in nature and/or antisocial will flock to the outer ring.

Those enthusiastic for the dance will book appointments in order to become more attractive. Others may simply shower and throw on their suit from band or another prior engagement that required formal attire. It is entirely possible to pick up a date the night of the dance.

"I don't know why my mom makes a such big deal about this, me and Katie are just going to fuck in expensive clothes."

Or in the words of television program The Hard Times of RJ Berger
"The school dance is a scorgy!" Miles
"A scorgy?" RJ
"A school sponsored orgy!" Miles

if youve ever wanted to act like a jackass in front of your peers AND be at school in the evening when you dont have to... the high school dance is for you. Usually taking place in the musky ass gym or the broken glass covered parking lot, the high school dance contains such wonders as: mumble rap and repetitive pop music blared ad nauseum, shitty catered food from the downwind mexican restaurant with 2 stars on yelp, a bunch of horned up pizza faced jocks getting grinded on by slutty herpes-ridden cheerleaders, socially inept dorks huddled in a corner probably gaying out, a DJ who's had too much to drink, the wafting scent of bath and body works perfume and axe body spray, and general chaos formed by a mass of fucked up highschoolers. If you like one or all of these things, get some help... or attend the next high school dance!
Moe: I went to the homecoming high school dance last fall, it sucked fuck. Some asshole bumped into me, and i spilled the rank ass taco i had to spend 6 dollars to get.
Glen: Did you atleast get to score with one of the cheerleader sluts?
Moe: Fuck no, they all have herpes!
