Dancing. I am very envious at the ease certain people demonstate when dancing. The complete control of their body, the syncing with the music, the beauty of the mouvements. I am not talking classical dancing or elaborate choreography, only knowing how to dance really well at parties.
You say complete control of their body, but a lot of times people who dance well at parties don’t try hard to control their bodies, they would say the music flows through them, or they stop caring what they’re doing and just let their bodies move
I started dancing 2 years ago in my early 30s. Salsa/bachata specifically. Never danced a step before then (or at least: not while sober). After a 2 years of practise, I now regularly get compliments at the festivals/parties, and the ladies at the dance school like it when I’m joining the lessons, since I can lead well. I’m still no expert, but I certainly get a lot of joy from it. And for the record: I’m a slightly overweight nerd who is certainly not nimble or agile. I also hate rythm games, I suck at those, but dancing on the beat is so much easier!
My point is: it’s worth trying. Find a dance school that teaches salsa and/or bachata, and go for it. If you find the right people, you will stay motivated, and it gets more and more fun!

I get the flowing with the music part. Some people seem so in tune that it looks like they have a lot of practice

Sounds fun, I’ll try joining. It’just that you have to make choices because weeks have only 7 days…
