This may or may or may not have any resonance with some but these 'do's' certainly played a part in early courtship procedures.
Example; There's this girl you fancy and she isn't aware, do you hope she asks you, do you pluck up the courage to ask her to the bash before someone else does, wait until you get there and stand like all the other cowards at the side being egged on.
On the dance floor etiquette. Holding. bra fiddling etc....
Kissing on the lips in front of your mates, (NOT your mates) obviously.
Were you scarred for life.
The do's and dont's. I tried and failed twice before hitting the jackpot with a brunette called Tracy.
This was mid 70's for me, do they still happen now?.

At Cauldon Rd school the dj was forced to play the hokey cokey. When it got to the bit where everyone stands in the circle and runs the middle it just became a massive fight. I still remember the 'Ooooh' bit and seeing Dobbo flying in with feet at head height. On reflection I dunno why he kept playing it.

Don't they have the school "Prom" these days?
Don't forget we're all American now.

I can remember the late 1980s version of the now 'Prom!'. Sitting round the outside of the hall with your mates. Your girlfriend of the time sat across the other side, with hers.
You're dreading dancing at all really, especially the 'square tango' that school had been teaching you instead of PE in the weeks leading up.
The music starts, you pretend to be deep in conversation with your mates in the hope that you won't get plucked out of your seat.
Alas, the girl you don't fancy, but who fancies you (you kissed her on Valentine's Day hoping that that would be 'enough', err no, that just encouraged her) who hates your girlfriend, and the feeling's mutual - pulls you out of your seat. Cue 5 minutes of crawling up your own arse on several levels.

School disco's involved plenty of 'running halfway across the hall & seeing who could slide the furthest on their knees' and not a lot else.

I remember "Schools Out" Alice Cooper was banned at our school disco but we all stood in coco, and stack shoes stamping our feet to the Sweet and T-Rex and the one who can't be named who was in the Glitter Band.
Oh forgot to mention "Tank Tops" scary times indeed.

I absolutely loathe school disco's. Note the present tense, because for the past thirty years I have had to attend about two a year. As I get older, the music just gets louder and worse

It was all boys at my secondary school so no discos. We used to go the local youth club for all of our dating disasters. I was so skinny as a teenager that the girls thought I was an albino Biafran.

All the lads pretending to be drunk after half a can of Tizer was pretty much my recollection.
Some pretty nasty (and hilarious) accidents happened from lads stumbling around in the dark.
