I've heard debutante balls happen frequently in high schools in Australia.
What is a debutante ball?
Basically a school dance where the girl asks the guy to the dance and he can't go unless he's asked.
That sounds simple enough, but I don't know if I like that concept.
It is customary for the female to ask a male to the débutante ball, with males not being able to "do the deb" unless they are asked. The débutantes and their partners must learn how to ballroom dance. Débutante balls are almost always held in a reception centre, school hall, the function room of a sporting or other community organisation venue e.g. RSL club, or ballroom. Usually they are held late in the year and consist of dinner, dancing, and speeches.

The debutantes are led into the opera house to the sounds of Carl Michael Ziehrer's Fächerpolonaise. The dress code is evening dress: white tie and tails for men; strictly floor-length gowns for women.
