is dancing a sport?

Answer 1

Dancing is definitely a sport!  I was on a dance team in high school and this was a major topic of discussion.  If golf, and bowling, and race car driving can be considered a sport, then dance is for sure a sport.  It requires just as much physical exhaustion as many other sports, injuries can be the same if not worse, and the time and effort is definitely there.  I hope that I answered your question, or at least agreed with your opinion.

Answer 2

HECK YEAH! Im a dancer and so i agree.

Answer 3

It is a sport. Sports work your body in challenging physical ways. But i disagree that it is the hardest sport. I've never seen any serious concusions of fractures in a dance recital..

Answer 4

I'm a dancer but I don't think it's a sport . I think it's a art <3 . You don't have to make football or rugby graceful  or effortless  , you don't have to put your heart into it  and it doesn't matter but you have to put your heart into dance cause other wise it just doesn't work =) .

Answer 5

i think that dance is too hard and physically demanding to be a sport. i call it an art! because if you think about it, it is. and you are right... dance is wayyy harder than football :]

Answer 6

Dancing is definately a sport.  It may not be with a ball or a goalie, but it is for sure a sport and anyone who thinks other wise is INSANE!

Answer 7

i agree with megan. dance IS a sport, and of course it doesn't LOOK like a sport, and it doesn't look HARD to do, but trust me ballet is very hard and painful, and it takes alot of effort and strength. Football is hard, but dance is hard too! It gets me mad when people say "Dance is so easy, anyone can do it," I'd like to see them try on pointe shoes and do a couple grand jetes ;)

Answer 8

Alright i am a dancer and i used to play football so i know the difference the difference is that a sport is dangerous to the level of were you can hurt yourself and trust me ive gotten way more injurys from hip hop dancing than on the field

dance is definatly a sport

but its better then that its art

Answer 9

It is definitely a sport and it bugs me when other people say it isn't. Any activity that deals with your body and working it is a sport. Us dancers go through just the same and even more pain than other athletes! We deal with broken toes but we still dance, and we wear our bodies to the bone just to do want we love everyday. And for those who think it isn't a sport, you should try going to a dance class and see if you can do it. Because i guarantee you can't. Dance is a sport and more than that it's a way of life. I dance everyday to express my feelings and if I didn't have dance then I wouldn't be here today. It is my escape from everything and everyone. It is a sport and I believe it is one of the hardest sports out there.

Answer 10

i totally agree with dainty. i think dancing is an art not a sport.

Answer 11

i love when people ask me this question well let me elaborate ok well yes it is a sport because a sport is defined as something you can compete and work hard for and dance falls in the category but dance also falls in the catergory of art because its graceful its expresseful and its not something you can keep doing the same things over again and have rules like hockey soccer and football etc anyways people think its more art because there is more to back it up but keep in mind its stilll a sport because it falls in that category also its the hardest sport because in football yes you do a lot of training but anyone can pick up a football and throw it in hockey anyone can pick up a stick and shoot the puck in the goal and in basketball anyone can throw a ball into a basket ini basball anyone can swing and throw soccer anyone can kick but in dance not everyone has the strength and the edurance to do all that stretching and muscle tighting its all in peoples minds because they think just because we get on a stage and fling our arms around for three minutes they think its useless but to artistic people like me and you think its much more than that its expression and passion towards this once you get your heart in dance its with you forever there is no way you can just forget so many years of dedication towards this. so in conclusion i do believe dance is a sport but also an art. YOU keep working and dedicating your heart in this sport!!! dont let others tell u otherwise because they dont know what you know now!!!!
