I see your point OP, but when you consider that both Darts and Snooker are sports and yet you'll burn more calories dancing than throwing a few arrows

Plus it's scored too. Think ballroom dancing. In that sense it could be described as a sport.

I believe breakdancing is going to be an Olympic sport so I guess it is. And Sergi Polunin physique isn't from dancing the macarena!

I’ve been dancing for 30 plus years both at a professional and non professional level and I assure you that the stamina, speed, flexibility, muscle and down right endurance needed to be a dancer should make dancing classified as a sport.

Many athletes argue that dance isn't a sport because dancers don't follow an objective scoring system.

Oxford Dictionary defines sport as "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or a team competes against another or others for entertainment"

So basically it's a yes

Dancing isn’t competitive, it’s expressive, so it’s art.

Art that requires strength, stamina, dedication and lots more besides.

Dancers are athletes, just not competitive ones, save for breakdancing

Not the ice-skating where you go round and round. Figure skating that is scored based on performance

But is that just not different levels of participation? My kids rugby club does walking rugby non competitively just for social reasons. Doesn't make rugby as a whole less of a sport even if it became more popular than the contact version.

Ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, backing dancers... non competitive.

There may well be aspects that are competitive but dancing is an art form at its core

Yes and no for me, when I did dance I'd spend hours at the barre before doing anything remotely creative. Then I'd have my exams to pass my grades. And those grades were marked from a pass all the way to distinction. And I flaming well did compete with my peers for the highest percentage. But I get where you are coming from dance does have artistic merit over the majority of sports.

I do but as a hobby and for laughs with my mates. I had a knee op in my early twenties which put an end to intensive dancing.

Yes, I can see how that works but in that aspect, acting can be seen as a sport.

Lots of things are competitive in terms of interpersonal relationships but aren’t competitive directly.
