Reasons Why Dance is a Sport

Definition of a sport is:
Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
A particular form of this activity.
An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
An active pastime; recreation.

I have my own opinions why dance is a sport. It is a competitive sport, there is a state competition, we have practice 6 days a week 2.5-3 hours a day, seasonal/year round, definitely not as easy as it looks, there are professionals in dance, and many more reasons.

Blazettes are a very competitive team, we like to win, and we train to win and beat other teams. I would say we are a pretty successful team, we have won 10 state titles and we are known for kick. Every single person on the team is driven to do good and we all work very hard to be good. I try to give it my all at every practice because I know if I don't I will not only be bringing my whole team down but I will be bringing myself down.

I think a lot of people are starting to realize that dance is a sport and it's not just an easy, pointless activity that people just do for the fun of it. They are realizing this because there are more shows on tv such as, Dancing with the Stars, Americas Best Dance Crew, So You Think You Can Dance, songs, movies and many more things contributing to this. All kinds of people are into different types of dance and I think that is a great thing. It is also in pretty much every part of the world and I love that it is spreading more and more every day.

I'm definitely not a professional at dance but I think, like every other sport, that if you stick with it there's always a chance that you could someday become a pro. Like they say... practice makes perfect.
