Is dance a sport?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
Do you think dance is a sport? It's very competitive and takes a lot of conditioning, coordination and muscle. I do hiphop and jazz mostly but I want to know if people think it's a sport. Do you think cheerleading is a sport? Or track?

Track is a sport. It has a result that can clearly be measured by who had the fastest time, etc. I don't really consider dance or cheerleading a sport though, I mean, it's more of a matter of interpretation as to who did the best. I am not trying to say it does take skill or talent, and nothing against anyone who does either.

Yes all of it is a sport. Just today people think a sport involves running, tackling, or shooting, But thats not true.

Yes. You're doing physical exercise and moving your muscles, so it's a sport.

Neopets is a competitive and hardcore sport, so Dancing should be ;)

i am a dancer too, i think it is a sport but i have always felt like it was more of an art then a sport. i really like the quote, " dancers are the athletes of god" as for cheerleading, i am a cheerleader too, and it is definitely a sport aswell. track too.

i think it is because it takes lots of skill. If darts is than dance is.

Dance is not

Cheerleading is not

Track is not

Absolutely .. Best cardio!!

For me yes.

I guess you can say it is a recreational activity.
