How to socialize and have fun without dancing?

TL:DR? Seeking ideas for fun group activities that are open to all and do not involve dancing.

I want to be able to socialize, fit in and enjoy with people but all such events involve dancing... and it might be very rare but I do not enjoy dancing at all.

Somehow in adulthood every event, party, get together, hangout plans or games in groups involve dancing. I don't enjoy dancing, not even alone. I miss the times when people that didn't know each other well got together and played actual games or did some other activities together.

When people get together for any other activity now, they usually have years of experience in it so it isn't that chill or fun or a good idea for socializing.

I would appreciate some advice from the sub on this. What is a good way to socialize and have fun that is kind of open to all and does not involve dancing? And if you're like me who also can't bring themselves to dance, I would love to connect.

Gym is a good place to socialize

I agree but it's not really the place to socialize and have fun. Like no one will go to a party or the gym for the same reasons lol.

Not socializing doesn't mean that you are not exploring. You can go for solo dates, solo travel. The feeling is just too good to put it in words. You will know yourself better. Once you know yourself better, you gonna find or connect with people more.

Social drinks will eventually gives a good time and there are no pressure for a dance. And if you get some good companies that will be perfect weekend gateway.

There's always a pressure to dance πŸ˜‚ Though this makes me think I could try group treks instead.

It may sound kiddish but once we had a lego party at home and it was super fun. People in 30s. Pretty big and complicated lego, costly too but worth it.

Hike/Run groups, pottery workshops, reading clubs, swimming classes, etc, so many things to do. Chose something that interests you, start doing it, there will be plenty of opportunities to interact with others.

Thanks for the advice. Are these things beginner/noob friendly?

Find the other people who aren't dancing and start talking about random stuff, hopefully a topic sticks and you've made new friends. Trust me, the people standing around not dancing are thinking and feeling the same way as you.

Really? People usually say that they enjoy dancing. I've never met anyone who admits otherwise lol.
I'll take your advice, thanks for that. Though I really wish there was another activity invented so we don't have to dance all the time lol.

Also, do you hate dancing? Or you're just a bad dancer?

If you hate dancing, fine understandable. If you're just a bad dancer, chill. Just dance the way you do and you’ll attract the vibe.
