I joined a salsa class about 9 months ago and my life has changed drastically because of it. Salsa is a partner dance, so improving my skills gave me the confidence to be more social. Since the salsa scene in my town is modestly sized the kind of people that join seem to be "interested in seeking new experiences" kinds of people. Lots of world languages are represented, and there seems to be a disproportionately high amount of Masters and PHDs in the group. For me the best part is that everyone seems genuinely interested in improving themselves. I don't think this is a panacea (can there be one for solving loneliness?) but some might find it a good idea so I wanted to share.
