just taking a little survey haha.
i dont think dancing is a sport, i think it is an art form and a hobby.
yes, i am a dancer so dont critisize me.
i dance competitivly, i also do other things like cross country and field hockey which i believe are true sports as oppose to dance. what do you think?
 
My spanish class got into a big debate about this. My teacher argued that sports are things that you win yourselves, and are not decided by Judges. I however disagree. Things like Marching Band, Dance, Cheerleading, their all as much sports as soccer and football.
 
I don't really consider it a sport, it obviously requires a great deal of athletic ability in things that aren't people just bouncing around, but I don't think it's a sport.

I consider dancing a sport, right up there with gymnastics or cheerleading.
I am not a fan of dancing [not that I'm against it or anything], but i don't see why you wouldn't classify it as one.
It requires physical activity and practice? That is how i would define a sport...
And I think of sports as hobbies though too? To me a hobby is something you do a lot that you enjoy. I classify all the sports i play as hobbies.
 
it is an art form. not really a sport. i am a dancer and that is my unbiased answer. Even though daning actually is harder than all the sports i've ever played in my life(gymnastics, tennis, basketball, softball), i think it is an art form, but NOT a hobby. dancing is serious and should not be considered a hobby. If it was just a hobby, there wouldnt be organizations for dancing such as the one i belong to, RDA, which is very serious.
 
I think dancing is a sport. Dancers sometimes do moves that others can't even do. They also need to be flexible and have good balance as well, right? I think that's right. BY the way, i do cross country too!
