Tomorrow night I'm going to my 8th grade graduation dance, and I'm really nervous! How do I calm my nerves?
P.S
how was your 8th grade dance?

honey, it's only a dance, just be yourself, have fun, remember the other kids there are probably just as nervous as you are, but also remember, they are your friends, they are going to be the same as they were in school, only dressed up a little nicer :)
and Congratulations on Graduating the 8th grade a big step forward to adulthood, just don't grow up too fast.

Are you nervous around the people you will be hanging out with normally? It is the same thing as being with them any other time, except you are dressed differently. Just be yourself, have a great time, dance, and all will be fine. There is no reason to be nervous in the first place, so just think of it as any other get together with friends. If you have a date, you have been around that person before as well I am sure, so just relax and be yourself.
My 8th grade dance was fun, and I danced my shoes off!

I really didn't want to go for the same reason as you. However my Dad talked me into it. It was great, I danced with the boy I liked all night long.
He was kind of my boyfriend but we never talked to each other and I can't remember any other time we were together but I still remember my 8th grade dance.
Go, have fun and be your self.

What are you nervous about? You are about to have a super-fun time. How lucky are you!! Just go, don't worry about the stuff you are thinking about and have a great time. You are too young to worry about a dance, there is nothing to worry about a dance anyway.

Embarrassing-I wasn't planning on going and went at the last minute, I forgot to put deodorant on of all days that day and need I say more. So, I can't offer you any advice on how to calm your nerves, but I will say Don't forget your deodorant!

Keep plunging ur head in a bucket of water or just kind of shut down your mind or do something that you like doing that'll distract you.

Think about being there with your friends who are probably nervous too. Have fun!
