Should you find yourself with a free Saturday night, consider going Contra Dancing with the North Texas Traditional Dance Society (NTTDS). http://www.nttds.org/ It is fun. It costs very little. It is good exercise without being being too far off the charts in terms of physical effort.
NTTDS has been around since the early 1980s. They have a dance pretty much every Saturday night with live music. Check their calendar for location. They welcome strangers. You don't have to show up with a partner. The group encourages everyone to change partners for each dance. There are usually more women than men so it is common for women to dance together. These people don't let much stand in the way of having a good time!
What is Contra Dancing? It is sort of like square dance, kind of like the old fashioned English country dancing they show in the Jane Austin movies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_dance. You will want to take a bottle of water with you. Dress is casual. Ladies wear skirts mostly because it feels good to dance in a skirt! Show up early and they will walk New-comers through the basics (currently between 7:30 and 8 when the dancing begins).
