Most definitely both!.
Any type of dance is and art but if you're asking specificaly if break dancing is a sport, it is!.
There's so much athleticism involved in dance and people just don't realize that!. Dancers like!.!.!.have to be strong and fit!.
And it's an art because like!.!.!.how many people can move like a dancer can!? Dancers use like every part of their bodies in like the most!.!.!.unreal ways lol!. (And this kinda sounds wrong but I don't mean it like that lol!.) There's a sense of creativity in dance!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say it's both!.
Dance requires an amazing amount of strength (legs and core, and break dancing requires upper body) and you have to be in amazing shape to do any type of dance!. Like you can't just go to a decent dance class and dance throughout the entire thing without getting tired if you aren't in shape!. Dancers move legit throughout the whole class, we don't stop!. We need to be flexible and have enough stregnth to support our bodies on one leg for 5-20 seconds, and we need to be able to move quickly and gracefully!.
It really irritates me when people say it's not a sport, and then of course it's the same people whom I drag to a dance class and they can't make it through the first fifteen minutes of it!.
It's an art because without the artistic elements dance is nothing!.

Basically, you take away the sport part of dance, and it's nothing and you take away the art part and it's nothing either!.

Definitely try it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

For any type of dance you have to be train a lot, but you also have to do it with grace!. Sometimes you can get the training, but not the grace!. I would say that breakdancing, as well as other forms of dancing is an art that requies lots of sports!.

Have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com

this is a big argument among my dancing friends!.
I think it is both--you have to be athletic to do it, but without artistic expression it's not as good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Dancing is an art!. It becomes a sport when you dance competitively!. Dancers might be considered athletes at the lower end of athleticism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

art beacuse well its interesting to watch and shouldnt be judged and it can be appriciated!.

sport because its very athletic an da lot of hard work goes into being good at it Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's sort of considered both!. It is a sport, but it's also art!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
