Do you need to have a date for the eighth grade dance?

No. You do not need to have a date for the eighth grade dance. Although it is common for students to bring dates, it is by no means a requirement. You can go to the dance with a group of friends, by yourself, or with someone you are interested in, but there is no obligation to bring a date. The most important thing is to enjoy the dance and make memories that will last a lifetime.
