Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Professional ballet training is just as intense and as hard as professional football training and has the same injuries involved, statistics have shown that these injuries occur at an even higher rate in ballet than in football so in that aspect it could be considered a sport!. However, the ART of ballet is making it look easy, that is why it is so underestimated (and under appreciated) by people who have never done it!. The ARTISTRY of ballet is something that I find very rare in today's ballet world as dancers are pushed to the extreme of their technique and presenting more and more 'tricks' on stage rather than delving into the deeper aspects of the acting that it requires!. I am of the old school wherein I'd rather be 'moved' emotionally at the ballet than see someone pull off 6 pirouettes all the time!. Of course that's always a 'wow' moment but it doesn't give me chills!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Ballet is physical, it involves a team (performers), its presented to the public in these ways it is like a sport!. Ballet can be competitive in an eisteddfod and within the team (or dance company)!. But ballet is more than a sport!. There is no a winner or looser, it is one team presenting their skill and art to a loving public!. Ballet is art expressed with its own vocabulary of movement!. The costumes, the dance itself are the art, this is the choreography!. The music is part of the art too!. Ballet is like a sport but it is much, much more!. Www@QuestionHome@Com it is an art but i think ballet dancers do more work than any other sport i also would like to correct Trevin who thinks it is a girlie sport since if you haven't noticed football players take ballet and so do many other sports for ballet you need power flexibility and will power as well as good memory so i think that it is so much better than sport that it should be classified as art but art can be very hard cant it!? i mean if you where painting a wall with pictures you would have to climb up and down the ladder and walk around the room dont tell me that thats not hard work!. Www@QuestionHome@Com It's very athletic, more athletic than many sports!. Ballet training can also help for sports!. Some athletes in sports are required to take it!. But I don't think of it as a sport because there is no scoring or formal competition!. But if you think of sports as broadly being anything athletic, then it would be a sport!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I think it's both an art and a sport!. It's beautiful and graceful, but the reason for that is all of the hard work that goes into it!. Behind the scenes!.!.!.the men and women who grace us with the beauty of the dance that is known as ballet (you being one of them!) work extremely hard!. Their workouts are like men/women in basketball, baseball, football, etc!. Why do you think you see football stars training for dance such as Dancing with the Stars!? The two go hand in hand!. Without hard workouts, a choreographer (game plan), there would not be that beautiful ballet that so many of us love to see, So, my vote is definitely!.!.!.YES!Www@QuestionHome@Com Ballet is definitely a art!. They don't call it a performing ART for nothing!. If it was a sport, would it be called a performing sport!? NO! Its cause ballet, along with all other types of dance is a art, not a sport!. All the training that goes into dance is a sport, but the actual dancing is not a sport at all! Www@QuestionHome@Com It is an art!.I can see why it can be considered a sport!.I did ballet from 1st grade up until freshman yr of high school!.It is tough,takes a toll on the body,especially the point shoes!.They can tear up a girls feet!.So yeah it can easily be considered like a sport!.I think I got more of a workout then my sister who was on the tennis team!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes, it is a sport!. A sport mixed with art!. You have to be in a very good shape for good results and you also need a certain grace (art) to do it!. I don′t agree with people that say it is girlish!. They should try it, then they will understand!. I agree with you, I also like it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com For sure! The definition of a sport is: an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature!. To do Ballet there is def!. some skill needed, and there are competition teams that are competitive!. Www@QuestionHome@Com no it is not a sport however it takes a lot more work and dedication than most sports some people can be naturally good at a certain sport but ballet is all technical your not just going to go out their and be good at it so its not actually a sport although it is very hard to compete in and demandingWww@QuestionHome@Com Yeah it's definitely a sport as it requires so much strength and stamina!. It could also be considered an art as well though because performances nearly always convey a message or a story and it is so graceful whilst also powerful to watch!.Www@QuestionHome@Com If it is competitive, then yes!. If it is an expression of art for art's sake, then no!. Like cheerleading; the ones who do it think it's a sport, but most of the guys just think of it as choreographed panty-showing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com No!. Ballet is an art!. Sport capability and being athletic is usually something that someone is born with!. Ballet is a sires of skills you have to learn!. Im not saying its easy, but dance fits in the "art" catagory!. ?Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes! I never took full ballet, but I danced for 12 years and took some ballet on the side and it is hard work!. A lot of people look at it and think, wow that is dumb, or that looks easy!. Let me say it is not!!Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes, i agree with you ballet is a sport!.!.i mean, the muscles on a dancer are amazing! I actually think they have better, stronger more toned bodies than most athletes!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes!. Because ballet causes you to excercise, which you are active right!?!?!? So, therefore ballet is a sport!. ~lilbabygirl456 =]Www@QuestionHome@Com It's a very challenging physical activity, but it's not a sport!.Www@QuestionHome@Com yes i think ballet is a sport b/c its a physical activity where you compete in competitions or if not then you're competing with yourself =]Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes i think it is a sport and also an art for we can see lot's of exercising and daces at the same time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com defintly, not a sport that people watch as much but i bet ballet dancers do double the work out of any football player!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Definitely not!Ballet is Art!.It is a kind of visual art!.I really love ballet!!!!!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com yea -- you are with people sometimes competing learning skills have practicesWww@QuestionHome@Com YES!
