answers1: It's more like a physical art. the aesthetic and artistic
values are brought together in your movements when your body moves.
Usually it relates to a theme, emotions, expressions, concept, ideas
and creativity. One of the examples, ballet. <br>
<br>
Sports are generally focusing on the implications and beneficial
movements to improve <br>
our health and well being and of course as an advantage to our bones,
organs and providing <br>
more oxygens for the blood cells. <br>
<br>
Yoga, for example is considered as a aesthetic exercise, because it
was brought by the philosophy of Buddhism practitioners and are used
to relax your muscles and also increases your inner energy, it
completely separates you from 'reality' to let your senses and
consciousness flows on the other 'realm'. By that it stimulates your
nerves and relaxes you while you're awake. <br>
<br>
Swimming or other exterior sports which requires you to use your whole
physique is absolutely <br>
not spiritual. They're just sports. <br>
<br>
Well, it's up to you to judge ;)
answers2: Dance is like a language (humanities) physically translated
& when properly executed is a work of art. Not all see eye to eye "
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" <br>
<br>
Didn't wide world of sports with Howard Cosel have a dance league?
answers3: There are other art forms that require physical strength and
dexterity. Why would you want to down grade dance to simple sport?
Sports are activities done primarily for fun, as recreation. Where
dance and other art forms are a means of self expression. <br>
<br>
I have often wondered why figure skating and ice dancing are
categorized as sport. Certainly, there are sports played on skates,
hockey and curling. But figure skating and ice dancing get into the
artistic arena due to their expressive elements. <br>
<br>
Dance raises simple physical activity to a higher plain. Dance evolves
movement to a form of communication, of expression. It gives to
movement substance and meaning that simple sport does not. If dance
did not do this, dance would be evaluated by the number of spins you
could perform in a row without falling over or how high you could leap
in the air. Simple raw statistics just like long jumping, high jumping
and sprinting. Is this all you aspire to in dance? <br>
<br>
Seems to me you are arguing for a B+ after having received an A.
answers4: Just like music, dance is an art, not a sport. While both
recommend great skill, dance has never really been about competing
rather a creativity and expression using the body. Whether it's
brought out on canvas, through instrument, on stone or the body, etc.
it's all about creativity, imagination, and skill. <br>
<br>
I understand how you see dance as a sport since it's very
physical, but as a dancer don't you feel that you are creating? <br>
This question is very interesting............ <br>
<br>
good luck....js
answers5: I think a better question would be "why do all activities
require a declared winner and a loser in order to make sense to the
masses?". It seems to me that unless there is a trophy involved
nobody understands the point. <br>
<br>
I don't think anyone denies the athleticism required to dance well. It
has been observed many times by pro athletes that, in fact, quality
dancing requires a superior athleticism to their own. Yet dancers
continue to strive for a higher ideal despite the lack of any
championship title. I believe this dynamic places the artform of
dance on a higher plane than that of your typical sporting activity.
If dance were considered a sport, everyone would be doing it and their
dads would be coaching them in Little League. <br>
<br>
There actually is a competition culture in dance. I have observed how
the growing popularity of these competitions has cheapened the art
form. Thousands of schools across the country spend entire seasons
preparing their students for these competitions while forgetting to
teach their students how to cultivate their technique. Most of the
worlds finest dancers have never entered a competition in their lives.
Furthermore, dancers who are focused on entering and winning
competitions tend not to gain the appropriate skills necessary to
achieve greatness in the art of dance. <br>
<br>
I think the world has enough sports. Let's keep dance where it belongs
in the Arts and Humanities category.
answers6: if you are talking about break-dancing then maybe yes. <br>
as for the actual act of dancing involves,emotions feelings
togetherness some sensitivity & a sense of belonging. <br>
if you can calculate the things i mentioned as a sport then what is
dancing? no offense intended.
answers7: I'm a ballerina, and I don't think it's a sport. Sports have
competition (Like cheerleading, which I also do.) and dance definitely
does not have competition unless you're in tournaments. But there's
more dancers in studio than in tournaments, so it's controversial.
Personally, I think it's more of an art form.
answers8: because of the fact dancing is an artwork and not a
interest. It unquestionably takes physicality, yet singers are actual
too (opera singers sweat plenty...), and no person is begging for
singing to be a interest.
answers9: well dance is considered a sport but it is more of an art.
this is because the arts all involve expressing yourself. with dance
you express yourself alot with all the types of dance & movement. but
in many cases it is also considered a sport. good luck with
dancing!!(=
answers10: For something to be classified as a sport doesn't simply
require physical activity. Competitive dance might very well deserve
to be a sub-category of sports, however, dance is very much an art
form and is rightly placed under arts and humanities. There can be a
lot of physical work in acting as well, or sculpting for that matter,
yet they are still considered art forms. Primarily dance is about
expression (unless it is the aforementioned competitive side) like any
art form, while sports are about winning.
