Dancing is not considered sinful in the Catholic Church, although so-called liturgical dancing is not permitted unless the Mass is occurring in a culture which uses dance as expression (ours in the US does not.)
About the only dancing that would be considered sinful is something that mimics the sex act–e.g.- full frontal body contact and extreme pelvic gyrations. I don’t think that most high school dance chaperones would let that kind of thing fly. Usually, what happens is some of the girls dance together, a couple of guys dance with the girl they came with (and frequently look like a frog in a blender,) and everyone else just kind of stands around and looks ill at ease or listens to the band.
Even those turquoise tights on that guy aren’t sinful, just tacky and inappropriate for a high school dance. Presumably, you’re not going to be dressing like that!
If she’s a terrific dancer, and you’re not, just pick up the rhythm of the music and move your feet in time to it. Make *her *look good on the dance floor.
