I think they should be banned and I'm very grateful I never went to the one my high school had. I was never into that nonsense even when I did believe in male-female interdancing. I knew I'm Jewish and that "proms" are not a Jewish thing.

NO. They shouldn't be banned. And just for the record, Proms aren't a Christian thing either. Its a celebration of a class graduating from High school and becoming young adults!
And interdancing... Yacov, stop picking on celebrations that actually make others happy.

If it's immodest, I don't care who it makes happy.

How is dressing up in a prom gown and tuxedo immodest?

Same Prom gowns are very tart like, but Tuxes are very nice.
shimon:
interdancing is not banned just touching others while dancing. my rabbi said that in the times of the gemara people would modestly dance but they used tissues so they were not actually touching.
takebackourtemple:
There is nothing immoral about men and women dancing together and while many orthodox traditions prohibit it, nothing in the Torah does. The talmud only vaguely does by commanding people to follow the rabbis of the time. The problem is that if you isolate men and women too much, you end up with a lot of single people. G-d's will is for righteous people to marry and have responsible families so proms should not only be allowed, but should be encouraged. It is only some of the bad things that happen at proms that should be banned.

Bumping and grinding are immodest along with many other types of dancing, however, the act of just dancing
