Line Dancing
Everyone in rows doing the same thing, with no partner at all
No partner and nobody leading, which is the fundamental difference from every couple dance: you arrive alone and dance anyway, and nobody is left out. Each dance is a fixed sequence of steps, so memorising one is enough to join in, and a first night usually yields two or three. Community centres often teach it free.
