Re: dances/prom??
What is wrong with Dancing? Do you trust your child? Let them make their own decisions once they walk out the door of your home and into their Prom/Dance.
IF they decide to dance, they experience something that they may or may not like. But they decision is theirs to make.
But if YOU tell him/her that they CAN'T dance, they may be rebellious and do it anyway, then they are disobeying you which will cause guilt for doing some YOU don't want them to do.

What's wrong with dancing? I'm sure you know how sensual it usually is when done with worldly music. I'm not saying all dancing is wrong but it our culture 9.9 out of 10 times a sensual event.

Well as long as they are dancing to Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art or The Old Rugged Cross at the prom it would probably be okay!! Just Kidding.

Bella you think kids should make all their own decisions, like whether to go to school or not, whether to go to the Doctors or not?

You should be calmly talking to your child, telling them how you feel, asking them what they think about it and how they perceive it. Do they see the possibility that it can be a very sensual act? are they dating, what is their relationship with the person they are dating?
In the long run, once a young person is 16+ they are past the age that you can legislate standards for them. You can talk about it, you can ask them to talk about it, you can pray about it, ask them to pray about it, but after a certain age you are not going to be able to control what they do when you are not with them. And if you harshly enforce standards, the backlash could get ugly.

Re: dances/prom??
In our case we can choose to let them go to Homeschool group proms or not. Some have dancing but pretty much all have godly decorum.

No, small children or middle school children should not make their own decision. But if they are old enough to go to the Dance/Prom, they should be old enough to make a decision of whether they want to dance or not. Is your child shy? They won't dance. Are they outgoing? They "may" dance, but I promise you they will feel really funny and will feel guilty if they have a conviction of dancing.
Each of us was blessed by God giving us convictions. I did not do any wrong when I went to my Senior Prom because I was scared of what my parents woud say. But one year later, I went to Texas Bible College and TOTALLY lost my mind doing whatever I could get away with. I had to LEARN, with God's grace, what convictions that I had.
Trust your child. They will learn more from your trust than they will your wrath or distrust.
