Is dance a sport???

Question

My sister does dance and thinks it is a sport i do too but my family has different opinions

Answer 1

yes  and  a good excise as well

Answer 2

Yes, dancing is most certainly a sport.  I think it's harder than some other things that are considered sports.

Answer 3

It's totally a sport! It takes skill and it's not always as easy as it looks. Don't ever let anyone tell you it's not a sport. I'm a dancer and I HATE it when people say it's not a sport.

Answer 4

of course. It makes you excerise and keeps you fit.

Answer 5

Dance is a sport.

That's all I have to say =)

Answer 6

Yes its a sport!!!

People think that dancers just twirl around and don't do anything that requires effort, but they are totally wrong!!

It makes me so mad when people don't consider dancing a sport!!

Like when I went to find the dancing section on here, I looked under the sports section, but of course it wasn't!!

I would like to see the people that don't consider dancing a sport go try it and THEN say that it doesn't take work because they won't be able to say that then..

Answer 7

Yes, dancing is a sport. have you ever tried it? while when you do and you still say that it is not a sport ... then you are the first one. try competitive dancing their is a competive nature to it. it is great exercise and it keeps you in shape.

Answer 8

Sport is something that you put all your heart into and put your sweat into and dance is exactly that so pay no mind to what your parents say...U just go out there and make yourself the exact proof that dance is a sport.

Answer 9

100% a sport..let's try and see some one who has never dance, try to dance and see how out of breath they get and let them see how difficult it is and see how strenuous it is..its a sport and no doubt about that

sport : an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature    A.K.A. dance

Answer 10

DANCE IS A SPORT! I WROTE A WHOLE HIGH SCHOOL PAPER ON IT. IN THE PAPER I TOLD OF THE DEFINITION AND HOW OTHER SPORTS ARE CLASSIFIED.

DICTIONARY.COM SAYS THAT A SPORT IS: an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature

IN COMPETITIVE DANCE THERE IS COMPETITIVE NATURE AND IT IS DEFIANTLY PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTING! NOT EVERYONE WILL AGREE, BUT IF THEY CONSIDER CHEER LEADING A SPORT, THEN THEY BETTER CONSIDER DANCE A SPORT! PLUS CHEER LEADING IN MY OPINION IS A BIT WIMPIER THAN DANCE!

Answer 11

everyone has different opinions, but i definately think its a sport! dancers have 2 go thru hard times, injuries, warm-ups, perseverance, exercising, competing, and everything else tht other sports do

Answer 12

YES!!! dance is def. a sport

Answer 13

oh gosh yes its a sport. it makes me so mad when people say it isnt. if they went to one class/practice they would say its a sport for sure!

Answer 14

For all the long nights, pain, and accomplishments we have, how could someone say that dancing isn't a sport?  I'd like to see them dance around on pointe shoes for a couple hours.  We even go through more than some other sports.

What is it with these people that don't think dancing is a sport?

Answer 15

definetly! anything that uses your muscles is a sport.

Answer 16

h**l yes it's a sport =)

i dance too :]

Answer 17

dancing is off course a sport with any sports u sweat and work hard to accomplish.......dance is all of that! believe me 10 years of dance :)

Answer 18

Its an art that requires Athletic Ability.

And If your family Doesnt believe its a sport tell them to go out there and do what you do and then come back and say it isnt!

It is also an art because It express feelings and emotions through movement.
