I met my wife during medieval dance practice - it was one of those dances where the ladies and men line up, do various steps, then make a tunnel and a couple goes up it, then they go to the end and extend the tunnel. After everybody goes through there are some rotations and you switch partners. Very patterned, you need very little rythem, and you dance with multiple partners.
I was actually interested in another young lady, but when I ended up partnered with my future wife, I still gave her all my attention. That's just the right thing to do when you do that kind of dance. I neither looked past her - a constant problem for ladies who are 4'10" - nor stared down her bustline (which was quite nice but by 30 one learns to subtle about such things) even though the 12th century gown she had on showed off some quite nice cleavage.
She liked the kind of attention I gave her, liked the fact I was an older male, and decided to chase me. It didn't take her very long, either. Having a young, attractive lady ten years younger then you chasing you is very flattering. We used to do all kinds of social stuff, now we have a toddler, which cuts things way down. Of course, they bring their own kind of joy, but also irritations and I fear I am needed to deal with Miss Fussy Britches. Bye.

can they teach you a sense of rythym? |
Babies can be taught rythym. Perhaps, like languages, it is far easier to learn when young.

For a physical activity some social dances can be quite "cerebral" with leading her, remembering your steps, floorcraft (ie- don't crash into others, protect her), staying on time/rhythm/beat, etc.
This only covers ballroom dancing, but...

Of 11 physical activities considered, only dancing was tied to a lower dementia risk, Verghese tells WebMD.

I didn't post this earlier since I prefer reading posts from Apolyton members with dementia.
