I am 40. I have only heard the term "dance card" in movies, and it always used in the context of a woman who has been around the block or is loose/promiscuous.
LOL, no. If someone wanted to dance with you during the evening at a sponsored dance or party, the young men would request a dance by writing their name on your dance card. That's how my mom and dad met. It was a Red Cross sponsored dance during WWII in England. I think dad was gone hook, line and sinker from the moment he laid eyes on her. It took him a while to convince her that she wanted to marry a foreigner and move to another country.

That sounds like my parents story except it was in Australia. I think my dad fell in love with her on sight too. She was 15 and had LONG natural platinum blonde hair. He told his friends he was "going to marry her someday". Five years later she came to the US and married him. They weren't at a dance though. They were just walking down the street.
Aw, my grandmother used to talk about her dance hall days all the time. She met her first husband at a dance where he asked for her card and proceeded to put his name on every line. He didn't even know her name. They were married a few months later. He was a cop, and sadly was killed in a motorcycle accident while on duty less than a year later. She remained single for more than 10 years before finding a new love (my grandfather).
Yes, I know what you mean. But in high school no one ever filled them out. It was just a memento given out to the attendees and got stuck into a scrap book.
I dont attend dances anymore (sorry to say) but I have granddaughters who are into swing dancing and attend dances every week. They dont use dance cards and didnt even know what they are.
