A SPORT has an opposition, a common goal, and a score. Dance, martial arts, etc. are considered performing arts, not sports. I know competitive dance has recently come into play, but ORIGINALLY dance was an art, and purely for the performance. It was not a competition. I also don't think there is any way to truly judge a dance. Different people react in different ways, and it's so subjective. In soccer a goal is a goal, no question about it, but in dance one judge may give you a lousy mark and the other may give you darn near perfect. Dance may not be a 'sport' in the technical sense, but ballet dancers are still athletes. It's just a definition thing, that's all.
because you ae moving to music and dance is usually considered moving to urself (i dont know if u get that) say tennis and ballet are completely DIFFERENT rite? so guess its the music that separates it
Why is dance not considered a sport? ok dance is considered an art not a sport but why? ice skating is a sport and it is the same concept as dance. You compete against each other and get deducted based on your performance. The same thing applys with gymnastics. I'm just curious.
