Never was much of an ice skater.
I was that klutzy kid who was the last chosen for teams in Phys Ed class. "We had him last time. You have to take him this time!"
Tried a ballroom class with my ex. "Lead, dammit! I can dance great with the instructor, but I can;t do a thing with you!" That didn't last.
A friend suggested that I try contra dancing. Took me for-ev-er (5-ish sessions) to get to some degree of confidence, No special equipment required, just jeans, a t-shirt, and soft-sole shoes (I use bowling shoes). And a water bottle; it's aerobic exercise. It's customary to change partners each dance. There's live music,and minimal expense. I can do this!
