It's not, but then LW group members can't be presumed rational. What sort of synchronized group movement or synchronized group voice or both would bypass the Cthulhulian-horror-of-conformity filters?
In a similar group of my acquaintance, DDR (Dance Dance Revolution, not the former East Germany) serves this role fairly well, albeit only pairwise.
I imagine yoga can work this way for people who don't also have a horror of the reference class they file yoga in.
How hard would it be to hack pydance to synchronize multiple computers? A few Raspberry Pis, a few monitors... mass DDR-off!
You wouldn't necessarily even need any hacking - just have lots of computers / dance mats side by side, and start the same song at the same time in all of them.
Which actually sounds rather awesome.
You've just invented Geek Line Dancing.
