Yes, for sure, please don't be that guy!
I figured I'd add a bit of guidance in addition to "go with the intention of expanding your social circle" since I'm writing another message, for anyone that is interested:
* Start going to swing dance classes (I recommend Lindy Hop for beginners)
* In classes, say hello to all the people you dance with as you rotate, ask how they are doing, and start gradually making small talk focused around whatever moves you're learning that day (though not to the point of distracting from the class!)
* Chances are some people coming to the class will be in couples. If there is one partner of the couple who you small talk a bit more freely with, at the beginning or the end of the classes, go and say hi and make some small talk with those couples, get to know their partners too
* As a single person going to classes it's generally a lot more relaxed talking to couples than other single people to start with
* Slowly start including others (couples or single people) in these pre/post class conversations
* At this point everyone is probably still terrified at the idea of going to a social dance, thinking they aren't "good enough" yet
* Make a group chat with the people you've been talking to before and after classes with the goal of coordinating a social dance that everyone can go to together so they don't feel so terrified of going alone
* Add more and more people from the classes to the group chat, and more and more of the nice people you meet at the dances to the group chat (others in the group chat will be doing this too!)
* Before you know it, you'll have a new social circle of 20+ friends, hooray!
