Muñeca.Sure, is sport, You need to be strong for make all types of moves and to have talent and many art skills :D it requires practice :) so dwfinitively is a sport ;)
Muñeca.Definitively*
samanthaif ballet was easy we would all be playing football. I know because my director tells me Tht everyday dance is a sport because you use your core strength. So it's a sport because your still working out harder
Screamin' Lord ByronI think that your definition of "sport" is a bit off. Dance is more of an artform, but not a sport. Just because something requires talent, skill, and is physically demanding, it is no more a sport than laying tile, or building a house.
Tinker bell Barbie @Screamin' Lord Byron you forgot cooking
Screamin' Lord ByronThanks a lot Countrygirl... now I'm hungry.
Emilia definitely ballet I do it
Ella@Fuck you....I play soccer, and I stil believe that dance is a sport. you need to have strength and balance and agility and muscles. you have no idea what you are talking about. I personally want to see you try ballet. lets see how u do, and next time u decide u want to be a jerk, just keep it to urself.
Ellaand isn't gymnastics a sport? yeah. and ice skating? they are even in the Olympics. so dance is a sport too.
Tinker bell Barbie @Ella I actually do, do ballet so u can shut up!
Screamin' Lord ByronFirst off... nobody is insulting dance. We all know that it is physicaly demanding and that it takes tallent. I'm just arguing the definition of the word "sport". Kung-fu is just as demanding and requires as much skill as dance... but, that does'nt make it a "sport". We all know that contests can be organized to see who is the best at a given activity, and dance falls into this category, but then again, so does chess, drag racing, and yo-yo spinning. I still maintain that dance is an artform, but not a "sport". That being said, I DO respect dance for what it is.
Brianna @Vlada same here
Jenna@KYARYAR ballet is a sport it is harder than you think
oh_hey_dereDancing is more of a art and if at all a sport one of the least demanding ones right behind soccer
Pirale🍭It depends how physically demanding it is. Like ballet, your toes bleed, you have to have really strong legs, and it is very physically demanding.
FitnessAddictedsh'bam is a sport! And ballet too. It's hard and burn lots of calories.
jaybirddancerUmmmmm, I'm a dancer and anyone who says its not a sport should keep their opinions to their self. We have to have long and lean muscles so we do 200-300 sit ups, around 80-200 push ups, per day and ill not even tell u about the rest
Prufrockbut I've heard by some definitions a sport requires the use of a ball. That is not to say that dance isn't difficult or doesn't require skill; it just may not be a sport by definition. Same with track and field.
free_they say it's an art but i think it should be a sport :)
🎩Banter🎩sport is something that requires you to react to others in the moment. Dance is pre-choreographed therefore does not count
