Hey, I typed it all in and the thread closed in between. The question was "how late in life do single Mormons continue attending awkward church dances?"
I guess it depends how TBM they are ... and if they are in the Morridor or outside. Local stake had YSA dances with 18-30+ year olds attending (they are quite liberal and kind of leave it up to the individual to decide when he/she is too old; most stop by 35). An area with a large number of singles in 30s-40s can have their own "midsingles" dances.
There are even all-singles dances that creep the young singles out because they are expected to mingle with anyone alive. Age 18-100.
My guess is someone on the planning committee suggested a sock hop because "aww it will be fun!" I've never been to one but I heard people talking about it. Go figure, they think it's retro :)
