This is not strictly true. In many places, even in rural areas, there are still dancing events. They are not galas, they're an analogue for peasants, but everyone's invited if they care to look for the events, just like it always was. I'm sorry to those who don't have this possibility in their respective area.

When my dad was stationed in South Carolina the town we lived in for a while had one of these. Shout out to Lugoff-Elgin, Home of the Catfish Stomp.

Swing dance, blues dance, etc. They all have awesome clubs in downtown areas, often with live bands.

Are those events usually advertised on Craig’s list and have the password “Orgy”?
