I would say figure skating. Dancing is a form of art and figure skating is dancing in skates on ice. It's very artistic and beautiful to watch.
Depending on the mask wearers aptitude for figure skating and the visibility provided by said elaborate mask I would say its no safer than the act of figure skating with the absence of said elaborate mask.
I personally say that it would be easier if you watched people in your local figure skating club but then go on the ice by your self so then you do not have to worry about running into people when you are practicing.
this is just my opinion, but i would say not very popular.
As most people would say, practice. You can get better if you practice. I come to the ice skating rink every Sunday and I have become better at so many things.
