Is it cool for me to ask people besides my date to dance?

It's definitely okay to dance with other people at the prom, not just the person that you came with, but you just want to make sure that you're dancing with people that you know because if you're going up to somebody you don't know, that's sort of like flirting, you don't want to do that in any sense, but certainly not at the prom where you're with your friends and everybody's watching you. So if you don't know the person, you don't want to go up to them and just ask them to dance because, again, that's flirting and you don't want to do that because you have a date.
