Dancing. I got into swing dancing in a big way (first Lindy Hop but nowadays only Balboa).
It was very good for me - great for my confidence. I was very shy, now I'm comfortable talking to a large audience.
I also ended up moving country and getting married as a side effect, so that was nice!
Obviously it being a social activity we haven't done much lately but my wife and I have been practicing once or twice a week. We're luckier than our single friends at least.
The dancing in turn got me into photography in a minor way, and the editing of photos is a nice non-social counterpoint to the frenzied socializing of an international dance weekender.
I wouldn't do either for a living. Full time dance teaching and full time photography both look like very hard work compared to a pleasant day of pushing buttons for a living!
