Line 17:
This trope can be an example of [[Truth in Television]], however, since some real-life high school dances contain elements of this. Except "inappropriate" dancing, which seems to crop up pretty much everywhere.

Line 76:
* There's a very typical example (though it's really a Middle School Dance) in ''Dårfinkar & dönickar''. This is the scene in which crushes and jealousies come to a head, and the events set up the big reveal and the dénouement of the series.
* Same thing in ''Eva & Adam'', another Swedish kids' TV series. There are several dances, including a school dance at the end where middle-school romantic entanglements are sorted out.
* ''[[My So
** That was a much more realistic example than the others on this list, since at most real High School Dances, there are just as many kids sitting/standing around on the sidelines and talking as there are kids actually dancing.
* ''[[Kamen Rider Fourze (TV)|Kamen Rider Fourze]]'' had the prom for the graduating class that nearly got ruined by a Zodiarts who was basically a girl who [[Growing Up Sucks|couldn't stand leaving the school.]]

* The video to [[Taylor Swift]]'s ''You Belong With Me'' has [[Nerds Are Sexy|nerdy]], [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|sneaker-wearing]] [[Hair of Gold|blonde]] Taylor get an upgrade from [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] status at the [[High School Dance]] when her love interest realises what a [[Jerkass]] his [[Alpha Bitch|cheating]], [[The Cheerleader|cheer captain]] brunette Taylor is.

** The 'End of Year Dance' in "The Key" -- Sissi asks Ulrich, Ulrich accepts to make Yumi (who he thinks is going with William) jealous, Yumi turns down William at the same moment; Odd can't get a date because of his reputation as a [[Kidanova]]... and then none of them actually end up going anyway.
* A ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'' episode features one of these, wherein the [[Bratty Teenage Daughter|young]] [[
* The series finale of ''[[Clone High]]'' was a giant two part episode that lampshaded every prom-related trope there is. [[Word of God]] said that had the series gone on, it would have revealed that there are dozens of different dances and proms throughout the year, and that the finale just took place during 'winter prom'.
* In the ''[[Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'' episode 'May I Have This Ed,' the Eds, well, [[Captain Obvious|go to a school dance]]. Edd is terrified of going, but Eddy assures him his brother's book on picking up chicks will help! It does, sort of. The end result? The Eds end up destroying the gym used for the dance.
