Darcy is uninterested in dancing with anyone he does not know. The assumption among the local people of Meryton is that he feels himself too high above the company there.
Darcy does ask Elizabeth to dance with him at the Netherfield ball, and she consents to this because she cannot think of an excuse not to dance. Charlotte sees Darcy's interest in dancing with Elizabeth as out of character and concludes that he is interested in her.
In the 1995 television series, Charlotte says to Lizzy that Darcy seems to look at her a lot. I have looked through the book and have not found it there, and though it could be eluding me, I think it is something only in the TV series.

I think the person who ultimately influences Elizabeth the most is Mr. Darcy, through the letter he writes her while they are both in Kent. He makes her examine herself and her own ideas about her abilities to judge other people.

Can one equate Darcy with pride and Elizabeth with prejudice?
I think only to a degree. In the end, both characters share in this theme but in different ways. Darcy is proud because of his position in society, and that leads him to scorn anyone outside of his social class at the start. Critic A. Walton Litz commented: "in Pride and Prejudice one cannot equate Darcy with Pride, or Elizabeth with Prejudice; Darcy's pride of place is founded on social prejudice, while Elizabeth's initial prejudice against him is rooted in pride of her own quick perceptions." So Darcy is proud of his position because of social prejudice. Elizabeth at first had prejudice against him because she was proud of her own judgement.

Does mr darcy have the right to be proud?
Certainly, according to Charlotte Lucas, Mr. Darcy has a right to be proud. Jane Austen clearly understands a difference between the good and bad aspects of pride, and has her characters speak of it. Familial pride that causes a person to value the reputation of his family and do things so as to be in accord with the good his family has done is regarded as good, by at least some characters. But like many other things, pride can be excessive, and excessive pride is a fault. Mr. Darcy has a right to be proud of his father's generosity and continue being generous in his own life. Mr. Darcy has no right to be excessively proud.

Why does everyone adopt a low opinion of darcy in Pride and Prejudice?
From the very beginning, Darcy proves himself to be conceited and rude. He takes his social status very seriously and seems to look down on those who are less wealthy than him. As the book continues, Elizabeth (with whom the reader is meant to identify with most) dislikes Darcy more and more. He personally insults her many times by saying that she is not pretty enough for him and, even when he proposes to her for the first time, he points out that he is too far above her in terms of social status for them to be compatible. Most of the people in Hertfordshire (where Meryton, Longbourn, and Netherfield are) start to dislike Darcy once Wickham spreads rumors about Darcy unjustly denying Wickham the money that Darcy's father left for Wickham when he died. Darcy later tells Elizabeth the truth, that Wickham was trying to take more money than was left to him, but Elizabeth never tells any else. So, many people continue to think of Darcy as a bad person. However, not everyone has a low opinion of Darcy. He is very close to his younger sister, Georgiana. He is also very close to his friend Bingley, who stands up for Darcy when others criticize him. Mrs. Reynolds, the woman who looks after Darcy's estate in Pemberly, says very kind things about Darcy to Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle and seems quite fond of him. Miss Bingley is almost obsessed with Darcy, though that may be more for his status and money than for his personality, because he is rude to her throughout the book. Darcy's aunt.
