What do you think of dancing?

Question

this is my 11th year dancing, & im just a teen.

people say its not a sport, its an art, which i can totally agree with.

but i would also like saying its a sport because i am (and other people) compete in big time competitons & we all want to go for the platinums, & elite golds & overall awards.

so do you think dancing is like...cool? corny to say but, idk. people dont understand how hard it is<3

Answer 1

Great!Exercise!Aesthetic satisfaction.Refinement of character,Soul-satisfying!

Answer 2

It is an art that requires athletic ability.

I am in the same boat you are. I compete and both me and you know that it is VERY competitive. But at the sam time it is very artistic because we are like painting a picture through movement ya know?

So I would say both.

Answer 3

its both a beautiful art form and hardcore sport!! Dancing is away of expressing yourself w/o words...dancing is my love. Its also very hard...it takes alot of dedications, love, to go newhere with it.  it kicks butt 2..ppl dont realize how hard it is and the extremities us dancers go to, 2 b great!

Dancing is the coolest thing ever lol  

Answer 4

its an art as well as a sport . so it may be called as an artistic sport. But there are singing competitions, art competitions etc and you get golds and overall awards too. But we don&#039;t call them a sport do we? Dancing still maybe called a sport because you move about , it is a good exercise and (we loose 350 calories by dancing)

Answer 5

I believe it&#039;s not a sport...

It is an ART and I&#039;m very proud of that :) When is the last time you saw &#039;so you think you can be a baseball player&#039;?

I know it&#039;s hard so I don&#039;t care what other people say.

As far as competition goes...I don&#039;t really see that as the &#039;real&#039; part of the dance world. It&#039;s good for when you are young but once you are older none of the gold or platinums matter to anyone. But in any other sport like swimming the gold medal is as far as a swimmer can get. With dance you can expand to many levels and create new things.

other people is my second home, and everyone there

Answer 7

I dance and i think of it as both a sport and an art. It shows free expression but dance is a hard thing. People think is &quot;girly&quot; and doesn&#039;t take anything but its hard as heck =]. I sometimes try to teach my friends what we work on in class and its funny how they can&#039;t do it. Dancing demands extreme physical strenght, flexibility, and passion. I take alot of classes but i always get bad mouthed for taking tap and jazz but mostly for taking ballet. I don&#039;t take straight hiphop but some of my friends do and people don&#039;t talk about hiphop. I personally think ballet is extremely difficult and not everybody can do it. So yea i think dance is Cool =D. Keep dancing!!!

Answer 8

dancing is both an art and a sport. i love dancing so much!! i hate when people tell me that what i do isnt hard. i always tell them to come out here and do what im doing. i think dancing is an amazing sport and art and im so glad that i decided to dance :]]  

Answer 9

it&#039;s an art and a sport, most people don&#039;t really know how hard it really is.

Answer 10

i agree i have been dancing since i was 6 i am now 20, i have recently opened my own dance company and we are about to open a new company for over 16&#039;s to dance in local clubs, it is more than art and sport!!  

Answer 11

I think its both. An art and a sport. I always say anything that you are physically doing basically is a sport and anything that you are trying to succeed at is a sport also. A lot of people though are closed minded to that stuff and only think football or &quot;tough and rough&quot; things are sports but its not true. Hope that changed your mind!!!!!!!

P.S. CHECK OUT MY QUESTIONS AND ANSWER &#039;EM PLEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 12

well i no a couple of months ago the amature athletic union (AAU) made hip hop dance a sport so i think they should consider all forms of dancing a sport

and yes dancing is cool it is very cool, and it is all hard some harder then others but still hard, and some may look cooler then others but i think all are in there own way cool

so i hope dat answers your question =)

Answer 13

duh its hard and no one understands. we work so hard on stuff people wouldn&#039;t even think about. i am not a competitive dancers. its not my think, but i like watching it. i Love it it is my passion so i think it cool.

Answer 14

i would say it is a sport (: cause loads of people get involved in competitions and go against eachother and people try very hard to get better and better. i love dancing, i do street dance and it always makes me feel better and in a better mood after (: yes i would say it is cool as you can show off your moves to other people and they can be like wow  :D  x

Answer 15

I think it is both an art and a sport. It is competitive, and sometimes you do have to work on teams! But it is an art at it&#039;s heart :)

I used to be a dancer - Irish Step Dancing, actually. I&#039;ve never done any other kind. It is hard work, it really is. It takes a lot to memorize all the moves and to work well with everyone else - you really have to know the styles of the people you&#039;re dancing with so you can make it all look good together. I think dancing is cool, and I admire people that do it because I know how difficult it is :)

Answer 16

dancing is a way to express ur self!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 17

i personally think that it is all art. the only reason why it could be considered a sport is because of the way we push our bodies and what it has become; too high extensions, splits, etc. it seems a little too athletic and is looking more and more like gymnastics than dancing (at least the ballet is). not that there is anything wrong with gymnastics and I&#039;m not bashing it, it just has a different kind of beauty and artistic-ness.

i don&#039;t know that dance/ballet competitions make one a better dancer (they do have their pros). they do emphasize strong technique, which is essential. but i think artists should be known for their artistic genius not how many turns we can do, or  awards, trophies and medals we win because that&#039;s not what makes a true artist. an artist can make a piece magnificent in ways no other could do, make another world come alive without technology or touch hearts and minds with their art form.

we only make it a sport because we want to be THE best in something that we love to do. but the problem is that there is always gonna be someone who can do something a little better than you and they may be made the best the next year. but the true artist and art form will always be the best and elite in everyone&#039;s eyes, not just the dance connoisseurs but in the eyes of a child and a normal joe who knows nothing of art and someone 100 years from now. but i guess it&#039;s all in the eye of the beholder to decide if it&#039;s an art or sport.

Answer 18

its extremely hard and competitive,

i am a competition dancerr, and i work extremly hard&lt;3

its deffinatley and sport!!because it requires LOTS of hard work..

and its also an art because it involves so much passioN&lt;3

so i guess both!

HOPE I HELPEDD&lt;3.
