Is dance a sport??

The PE department are split over this decision, but they say 'Yes' it is. Its classes a Sport on the UK GCSE Syllabus too.

Anyone disagree or agree?

[JohnnyBB]

i would think soo.

[LemonJam]

Fosho.

[Iceman]

Yes I would say it is. Look at ice skating it's not all about the ice it's about the dance performances put into it.

Thanks I was trying to think of types of dance in sport, that's all I could come up with (without over-thinking I'm too tired to)

[Benji]

Erm.........lmao...

at least u tried! haha

Yeah it is.

My friends say my weightlifting isnt a sport -.-

[Fom]

Personally I would say it isn't, it is art. Yes its exercise but not a sport, it is expressing yourself through art.

I see sport as like a competition,so if it's like a dance-off then yeah it is. Otherwise, no.

[James]

I'd say - choreography anyway - is artistic rather than a sport. Like songwriting or painting.

[HeatherTWx]

Yeaah because it keeps you fit doesnt it?

[lily.]

Yes.

[hannah.]

I suppose so yeah.. in the whole PE thing though it's amazing exercise which is obviously one of the reasons it's on there
