Oh, I can do it, I'm fit and well coordinated. I just don't find it an enjoyable thing to do, not even in private without an audience. I've done unstructured writhing to disco music, and I once tried this for a few months, but...well, no. These have been the sort of learning experiences where what is learned is "this is something I do not want to do".
Perhaps doing tai chi forms in a group has a similar effect.
Not that I've noticed for myself, but I'm more likely to bond to people if I can get some sort of synchrony in conversation with them.
I think of most 'stretching' exercises done at team sports training in about the same way. From what I understand they are of themselves problem slightly harmful on net but do serve a 'group bonding' role.
Or warmups that drama kids do before plays.
I've done quite a lot of tai chi, although not currently (combination of having taken it as far as I think I'm going to and my teacher having moved abroad), and some yoga. But for me these aren't group activities, they're things I practice for personal development, and went to classes for because that's where teaching happens. What I currently do in a class is Japanese drumming, but again, that's for the drumming, not the social bonding.
