Yes I do. The dancers I know are usually in better shape than the football players I know...... Dancing is a strenuous aerobic activity that is HIGHLY competitive.

I don't even think figure skating should be a sport.  No offense intended to anyone, especially because I still consider figure skaters athletes, but it isn't a sport!  It's more a competition, like ballroom dancing or something.  You don't see ballroom dancing in the Olympics.

I would like to, but I've never actually tried it to know if I can or not.  Wanna teach me and help me learn?\n\nI love "Save the Last Dance" when the guy is teaching the girl how to dance.

The other answer is right on!\n\nTo be honest they are not learning ballet at even three years old, they are gaining motor development and getting used to a class environment. \n\nWait until she is at least three. Keep your expectations realistic.\n\nMost professional schools of ballet will not even let them into pre-ballet until they turn four. Professional schools tend to be non-profit so they can do this. Ballet for three year olds is a money maker for a small studio, but a legitimate studio will be upfront about what you are really getting out of it. The term pre-ballet is a hint, and if the class is for four to five it is also a hint you are dealing with a professional school. \n\nFor a three year old look for classes labeled “creative movement” or “parent and me” and you will have a better experience. I would try the community center, and if he or she shows a talent or love of ballet look for a classical ballet studio when they turn five that is not a “tap, jazz, hip-hop, and ballet school” but a pure classical ballet studio, there is a huge difference.

Meriam Webster defines sport as a function (noun); a source of diversion; RECREATION; physical activity engaged in for pleasure; and a particular activity (as an athletic game) so engaged in...\n\nThere is such a thing as DANCE SPORT. And people have been lobbying to include ballroom dancing in the Olympics. The Winter Olympics' figure skating may also be considered a dance on ice.  So YES, dancing MAY be considered a sport.\n\nHowever, it may also be considered a PROFESSION for some - like dance instructors, coaches, dancers, entertainers.\n\nIt may also be considered a HOBBY for those who just dance because they want to, but not for sport (competition) or livelihood (career).

Dancing is GREAT exercise for the body.  I'm not so sure about the mind.  Some of the stupidest mistakes I've made in my life have happened shortly after dancing, if you know what I mean?
