well, you cannot exactly take your cane on the dance floor.  So 
go sighted
guide with your date or friend.  Then just follow their lead if 
you are a
girl.  If you are the guy, you have to learn to lead.  Also free 
form dance is
just a mix of moves like moving to the left, right forward and 
raising your
hands up.
Someone could show you some typical dances beforehand; like YMCA 
has a few
hand moves; so does Macarena.  But lots of this is free form and 
hip hop
dance with no particular move.
But yep, Chris, its hard to go to a big crowded dance being low 
vision or
blind.

Great question, Winona! In fact, I had the same question; how do
we as blind people handle school dances as independently as we
can? I look forward to hearing everybody's responses!

Hi everyone,

I don't really where to begin or really, how to ask my question.
So, my friend is taking me to Prom.  He isn't blind but that
doesn't matter at all.  I'm really excited and looking forward to
it.  But I don't really know what to expect.  I know you dance
and hang out with friends (which most of I probably won't know),
and have a good time.  But I don't know how to dance. ...  So, I
guess my question is what should I expect? ...  I don't know.  I
don't go to school dances and I've never been to a prom before.
