Make Buddypress active from a WordPress install on the same database

First of all, thanks for this powerful tool and this support community, I just discovered Buddypress.
Here is my situation : my current WordPress blog has template A , and in the same database I’d like to install a second wordpress with Buddypress (with template B) The two wordpress sites would share the same users.
Is there a way to make Buddypress active with template B on the first site (template A) considering there are both in the same database ? I mean everytime a user checks his profil, activity, etc…. he’s redirected to the buddypress (template B)
I have been searching for a way around this on the web, but didn’t find a solution yet.
Thank you 🙂

The easiest way would be to enable multi site and then use BuddyPress on a separate blog. Multi site uses same database.

Thanks for your answer @modemlooper
I tried this but didn’t succeed yet :

I enabled WordPress Network on site1 :
Site 1 configs are :
WordPress address (URL) for the site1 is : http://mydomain.com/site1
And the site adress (URL) : http://mydomain.com

I added site2 to « my sites »
I can enable Buddypress on network but with the template of site1 (the main site) not site2
Is there a way to enable Buddypress on network from site2 ?

And then I did a test by installing the WordPress network on site2, http://mydomain.com/site2 but then I can only add sites to http://mydomain.com/site2/…
Am I missing something ?
Thank you 
