Along with professional wrestling right?
If you want a serious answer, yes. Because professional wrestling either way you look at it is a sport and art. No different from Ballet minus the obvious differences like Ballet doesn't have suplexes and all.
Yes, but culturally it is interpreted as something else if that makes sense. I would not put dance and football in the same category, I guess it's the combination of art and sport that makes it unique.
If Dancing is in framework of a competition then potentially - but if someone dances in a nightclub or a salsa club, it isn't a sport.
Dancing is an activity. Something like Interpretive Dance / Freestyle Dance / Dance Club... it is a sport.
You can break down the competitive aspect of sports and start disqualifying based on that. Golf is a sport where you essentially play yourself, the opponent has no impact on your ability to swing. Dance is the same way.
If I had to put in into sport or not sport - i'd say not sport, if there is no this way or that way
Competitive Dancing is officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee. It's a sport by that definition.
In more cases - Dancing isn't a sport than it isn't. Change my mind
English makes this make zero sense.
So bodybuilding isn't a sport in your book since more people do it non competitvely than those who do?
[edit]. Also Cycling. I'm sure there are 100's more but yeah.
