Is dance a sport?

Is dance a sport because I think it is and people tell me its not, and I tell them it is.

Answer #1

8okay heres the thing, I wouldnt really call it a sport, sports usually entitle a point system and opponents*

Professional dancers also have opponents and get points.

I'll consider it a sport, since you are competing.

And physical endurance isn't even a qualification for something to be a sport, after all, chess is a sport and there you have mental endurance.
