Dance is a sport. An actually extremely difficult sport. How do I
support this claim? Well, this is what I'm here to explain. Dance
requires much physical strength, while also requiring flexibility,
talent, grace, mental strength, strategy, ability to apply
corrections, etc. Most other sports require only strategy, physical
strength, and talent.
Another reason dance is a sport is
because of competitions. Although not used in world renowned
competitions, such as The Olympics, dance is competed at a very
high level. Most competative dancers dance a shockingly large
amount of hours each week, not to mention each day. Most
competative dance companies also compete about every weekend
at competitions that are sometimes even out of state.
One sad thing about competative dancers are eating disorders.
Many dancers are told they need to diet and eat less, which
means many of these athletes are competing at a very high level
with little to no energy from food. It's very sad, but this issue
is also present in activities such as modeling, gymnastics,
figure skating, etc.
