Ballet, a sport?

Question

Answer

Sport and art form. It takes so much physical strength you can't say it isn't a sport.

Answer

I am a lifelong ballet dancer and teacher. I firmly believe and teach that dance is both art and sport, just like gymnastics and swimming. I think that art can be found anywhere, and that anything that takes athletic ability, coordination, and skill is a sport. In the past dance was lumped in with sports in PE, which tended to downplay the art behind it. Now the art tends to be enhanced while the sport aspect is ignored. I don't understand why the two are so often considered mutually exclusive.

Answer

I believe it's both.  My hunnys daughter is in ballet and does pointe as well....it takes a lot of strength to be able to do a lot of the things those dancers do and to make it look beautiful while doing it.
