  • well gymnastics is. so i think its a sport

    i dont think it is.

    Because u lose a lot of weight dancing, and get tired really fast, if u try dancing u wil understand

    Because they have never really devoted their time to training

    yes it is i did it for 6 1/2 years

    yes there are dance competions so its a sport

    IT IS LIKE FOOt BALL if you have seen the game plan you can see that it is like foot ball but slow i love ballet its the best thing im at professional stage now i was in it for 5 years :)) im 15 now tho

    it depends on what kind of dance you do...but most dances are considered an art

    If darts can be a sport dance can be a sport.

    i think it is.
    Its pretty damn hard. takes physical and emotional stregth just like any other sport.

    i dont thinks so i think dance its a hobbie

    yes obv

    IF GOLF IS A SPORT DANCING SURE IS ONE TOO

    if it doesn't involve a ball and lots of action it must not be a sport right??

    wrong!

    Dance is a mating ritual!

    Yes, dancing is definitely a sport. Some people think that because they generalize that sports are usually more aggressive and focus more on goals and points than anything else. Since some see dancing as more graceful and delicate, it doesn't really fit into the realm of aggressive sports.

    hahaha go to a serious dance studio and you'll see.

    Dancing is definitely a sport!

    YES,
    finally some one who agrees with me!
    I CLOGG
    and it is a sport!
    competitions,practice, equipment,
    yeah its a sport

    dancing is a sport...well certain kinds.
    definition of a sport: An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
    so yeah certain dances are. =)

    it's really controversal.
    in my state; it's not considered a sport in junior high because it's not sponsored by the illinois elementary school association.
    but, in high school, it is sponsored by the illinois high school association, so it's considered a sport.

    on the other hand, dance teams have meets like any other sports; including wrestling and swimming.

    all in all, i think dance is considered a sport.

    heck yeah, it's a sport! tell those wusses thsat u move around just as much as u do in freakin' football!

    in the dictionary it says a sport is a competitve physical activity and guys think that it isn't competitve like other sports but it is.

    i think it is kind of! . they have professional dancing contests! THis is very very competitive!!!!!!!!!!*********
    Dance is incorporated in ice skating, gymnastics!

    I think at this point though, it may be an opinion or perception.
    It definitly is a workout and can be very speicialized or specific.

    I suppose let everyone have their own opinion on it,......at this point.
    if you google, dancers highly agree this is a sport, while others do not.

    No. Definitely not. Nothing athletic about it.

    if dance isnt a sport it should be because as much tyme thats the tyme spent on football and basketball is the same amount thatsput into dance and being good at it the onli difference ppl arent as recognized 4 dance as they are football and other sports

    I hate when people call dance, especially ballet, a sport. It's not meant to be a competition activity. It's a performing art.

    dance is a sport! ahh this pisses me off more than anything when people say that it's not. in dance, you have to have discipline, control, poise, balance, and a hell of a lot of determination if you want to be any good. having to rememberr 2-7 minute peices that you work your *** off in is wayy more of a sport than hitting a ball and running around in a circle, or tackling people.

    when a guy tells you it's not a sport, ask to see his splits and fuetey turns.
    if he can do them, then he can think what he wants.
    if he can't, tell him to try and learn and then give you an answer to if it's a sport or not.

    ummm...DUH. it is totally a sport. if they work as shard as all of us do...they will see that dance is a sport. from bellydancing to ballet to hip-hop. they are all sports

    YES it is! i do dance and it is definatly a sport!

    I know i hate that too! Yes! Absolutly it is a sport 20 minutes of it counts as cardio vascular activity and it is a sport. So is CHEERLEADING!!! Don't let anyone tell you its not.
