Ballet is a sport. amirite?

for all you idiots who think ballet isnt a sport, please remember that many famous atheletes have done and do ballet to improve their performance. many of them find it to difficult.

Famous athletes have done a lot of things to improve performance... Such as Yoga, marijuana, or steroids... Just because it helps prepare for sports doesn't make it a sport... also there's no such thing as an awesome ginger, ever.

Anything physically demanding is a sport, because the definition of a sport is something that's physically demanding. ...

Ballet is an art form, not a sport. A sport requires competition between at least two people/teams, with a winner and a loser(s). Ballet on the other hand, while very physically demanding, is a form of expression, like music or painting.

I compete ballet. Most competitions invlove at least fifty dancers. Some win and some lose. I see what you're getting at, but I believe it qualifies as a sport.

Yeah, you totally compete in Ballet. Does this Lewis kid think we just lay there until the director casts us in what ever roles he wants? That we don't work our asses off to be better than everyone else so we can get the role we want? Yeah, you loose when the director casts someone else in the role you worked all semester/summer/year/dancing career to get.

You mean like tryouts? Do you think American Idol means that singing qualifies as a sport?

According to what you said "A sport requires competition between at least two people/teams, with a winner and a loser(s)." Yeah, I'd say so. However, I know that's not what you mean. Really, I shouldn't've said anything. I just wrote a paper on this, actually. How it's undefined, and how there really isn't any way I can convince you otherwise. I mean, it's both, if you ask me. When some one asks me if I do a sport, I usually reply "Yeah, I dance." However, it's definitely an art as well. I think we should agree to disagree, because we can't convince you, only you can convince you.

If anything physically demanding is a sport, that would be like saying gardening or giving birth is a sport.

gardeners compete. they can enter their plants in a competition, no?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes, but Thats more physical exertiona, and then showing off of the result. In dance, the hard work itself is what's enetered into the competition, not the afterproduct. If gardening were considered a sport in this way, it would be the actual gardening being scored, no the plants,

I know that ballet is incredibly physically demanding and has difficult competitions, but it's a more of a fine art than a sport.

I think it's more of an art rather than a sport, like MobyRichard and Anonymous said. Sports are more rough, if you know what I mean. Not harder, but not refined and pretty, like ballet, making it an art.

Ballet, though it is physically exerting isn't a sport. dancing is not a sport.it's art.

ballet is an art, but a sport too. for all u haters out there, i want you to try ballet classes 7 days a week with rehesals. id like to see you try to work our way to 1st place at multiple competitions. then u can talk. if u've never done it, you have no right to talk about if it's a sport or not.
