Ice skating can be expensive. And dangerous depending who's on the ice. For a pair of skates your looking at cost of skates, protective padding for DD, lesson prices, warmer and thicker clothes for wearing on the ice, skate maintainance eg sharpening and replacing blades blade covers etc...
As for dancing have you thought of calesthenics? Great for flexibility and teamwork and character building. IMO most girls who do calesthenics depending on the coach and where its held don't really have problems with self image. My SIL is a bigger girl and she used to do calesthenics. Which incorporates dance and routine with gymnastics. It also teaches great posture whilst keeping DD fit. My SIL now is a coach for a team. She loves it and always has. She said the costs aren't as high as something like ice skating. Just uniforms and the occasional costume...
Hope that helps xx
