the definition of a sport ( not in the context of a biological sport, a fair sport in terms of sportsmanship, wearing things, etc.) is "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment". there are dance teams, and it goes without saying that dancing can physically exert you.

i can see why the question would be posed, though, seeing as most sports involve a ball or a more brute form of opposition. however, dance fits the criteria for the definition, so i don't see why it can't be a sport. actually, if it fits the definition, it should be a sport lmao

but also, it has been debated over whether dance is an art as well. arts are the application of creativity and imagination in usually visual ways. dance routines are creative, so dance may be an art as well.

imo sports and arts can go hand in hand- the definition for arts implies creativity and imagination. winning against a really good team, say, in volleyball, can't go without a strategy. a good strategy requires creativity.

so yes, i believe dance is a sport, but an art as well.
