I didn't go to mine either. My then-boyfriend didn't want to go because he'd promised to go to some gathering on the same day earlier on, I didn't like most people in my year either and I didn't want to show up on my own or with my parents, so I just came along to the gathering instead.
From what my ex-classmates told me, the prom sucked anyway. I don't regret my decision since I had a lot of fun there and met interesting people, also, I met one of my favorite artists who just so happened to be a friend of the guy who organized it. At the prom, I'd only have met a lot of people I didn't like, four or five I did like, and been bored to death.
If you don't know how to dance, can you get someone to teach you? A lot of people your or my age don't know how to dance. You could ask someone you know has taken dance classes, or take a class yourself if you're brave. Or just don't dance and say you don't know how. I would've done that if I had gone.
