Introduction

There are many different types of dance in the world. Some relating to culture and some relating to athletics or sports. The specific dance that I'm talking about is the High School dance team.

Some people don't think dance is a sport and some people think it is. I don't get why people don't think it's a sport. Maybe because you say, "I do dance," instead of "I play dance," if that's the case then they should feel the same way about gymnastics and every other sport with the same situation.

I have experienced this my whole life. I did gymnastics for 11 years until I quit last year to join dance. Some of my friends and other people I talked to about the sport I played, wether it was dance or gymnastics, would always say, "oh that's not even a sport." I would always try to defend myself by explaining how it is a sport and they seemed to never listen, so now I've just learned to let it go. Now when people talk about their opinions on dance I am interested but it still bothers me a little bit when they don't think dance is a sport but im trying to accept it because everyone has their own opinions, and I have mine.
