Is the Formal Dance a "couples" thing?

[LaLa-Lita]

I've never been to the formal before and I would really like to go this year, but I'm worried that I'm going to get there and everyone is just going to be dancing with their S/O's... Like I'm going to the con alone and I would like to dance rather then stand in the corner and look awkward. So, people who have been there before, is this a coupley thing? Would it be weird to ask someone you didn't come with to dance?

It is absolutely not a "couple's thing". Ballroom dancing is meant to be a social event, so that people ask several different people to dance over the course of the evening. If you are uncomfortable asking a stranger to dance, the staff and select others are "dance hosts". We will be introduced at the beginning of the dance, and will be wearing corsages to identify us. Dance hosts are comfortable with the basic dance steps (and usually more), and will never turn down a first request for a dance.

Yeah, differently NOT a couples thing, sure there are couples there but a large amount don't have dates.
I remember last year, me and my table decided to make sure EVERY SINGLE PERSON DANCED AT LEAST ONCE <3
It was so much fun! <3
