I don't think there are dances, but there are definitely 
extracurricular activities which include members of more than one 
house. Harry is probably too busy to take part in them, but they do 
exist. There is a gobstones club and someone was turned down for a 
place on the quidditch team because they would put charms club first 
(OotP).
