Please someone help me out! my boyfriend and I will attend our senior prom in about one month and we need to learn a ballroom dance to do. I would like to know the simplest, and easiest one there is to do considering we've never done this before. If you know how to help please email me! southern_angel_8@hotmail.com

Nightclub two-step would be my dance of choice for a prom, no question about it. You can dance it to a wide range of tempos, and you can grow or shrink the steps more easily than many other dances depending on how much floor space you have. A prom is practically guaranteed to be full of the right kind of music for nightclub two-step. I found it easier to get a handle on at first than the other dances I'm learning, though of course that may just be me.

It's sometimes called California two-step, but don't confuse it with the various country/western two-steps, which are very different and probably wouldn't be as useful at your prom.

Around my area, all the ballroom dance studios teach it alongside the more traditional dances. It may be less common elsewhere but you should be able to find someone to teach you.

Here's an interview with the guy who invented it, if you want to find out more.

Curl, it wasn't a competition per se, just a student showcase where we could get feedback from an adjudicator.
