I've been dancing since I was 4 and now I'm 13!. It is just as much as a sport as anything else!. Not everyone can dance!.!.!. you have to have balance and flexibility and not everyone has that!. So those that say ballet is gay are probably the ones that can't dance!. It is definetly a sport!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Most people who don't do ballet don't count it as a sport, and that's typical of them to do so!. I do ballet and I definitely think of it as a sport!. Ballet dancers are one of the fittest people around, out of all sports people!. Anyone who calls it 'gay' should be forced to do one ballet lesson and they'd be in for a huge shock - The stamina, flexibility and strength you need for ballet is enormous!. Male ballet dancers have georgous physiques, and aren't necessarily gay - some footballers and rugby players are gay so people should nevr stereotype male dancers as being gay!. That's my opinion! =) xWww@QuestionHome@Com

Please people!!.!.!.!.!. Ballet is an ART FORM, and a DISCIPLINE!.!.!.NOT A SPORT! True, it takes just as much physical effort and mental stamina as football (if not more), but in the professional world of ballet, you do not compete in contests or competitions, you are only in competition with yourself!. It is an expression of emotions, of stories, of world views and events, of personal relationships, of music!.!.!.!.it is sooooo much more than a sport, it is art, and I as a former professional ballerina am insulted and offended to hear that any dancer would consider it such!. On a lighter note!.!.!.if it were a sport, I should be a lot richer!!! Oh, and the gay thing!.!.!.!.people need to grow up!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ballet is an art form and not a sport - however, dancers should be also be considered athletes

Ballet is NOT gay - if you need persuasion, my son a former dancer and a currently a United States Marine would be happy to convince you!. Oh, did I mention that he is 5'11" 190lbs and can bench about 300lbs!.!.!.!.and yes, he is straight and his gf is a professional ballet cancer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

dictionary!.com defines sport as this: an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc!.

I would say that ballet is an atheltic activity requiring skill!. I don't know if it's competetive or not, but it states "Often" and often doesn't mean always!.

So therefore, I would say yes, it's a sport!.

definitely a sport!.
and ballet can be competitive!.!.!. if you dance in a company, or are auditioning for a company, dancers can get very competitive!. i'm in a dance company and for shows, everyone wants to be in the front with the solo!.
as for gay, definitely not!. maybe metrosexual, but not gay!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sport is generally regarded as a competitive activity, and ballet is certainly not meant to be like that! A few of the girls that have been in my classes are competitive as they want to look and be the best, but it's not in a sporting way!.
Ballet is an art, a discipline, a dance form!. Performances can be a spectacle, Not a sport!.
Many people seem to regard ballet as gay, which is sad for them, as they are missing out on either participating in something which is fun, interesting, physically taxing, sociable, and entertaining!. Most of those who make such derogatory statements don't know the discipline, strength or training necessary to dance with grace, precision and flair, to make something which is very difficult look so very easy!. They don't understand the pain we inflict upon ourselves to do what we enjoy so much!.
Yes, the guys are very strong and lean - they have to be to lift us and make it look so easy and graceful!. Some of them may be gay - that's their business, and nobody should be denigrating ballet because some of the male dancers are either gay or don't dance in footballer's clothing and look mean and tough!.
Any way, that's what I think!. There's a huge number of girls in this world, and many guys, who enjoy ballet, and who later encourage their daughters to take it up!. Why - because they know just how much fun it is, they appreciate how graceful it makes us (both on stage and in the street - you look at how gracefully most girls walk and stand who have done ballet), and they know that it's something really worth doing, despite what the vocal, criticising minority may say!. And I'll bet that there's a lot of those who regard ballet as gay who secretly watch and admire some ballet performances, either classical, jazz or modern!Www@QuestionHome@Com
