According to dictionary.com, the definition of a sport is "an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature." Dance does just this yet it isnt considered a sport. There is no denying that dance takes an extreme amount of physical prowess. Although there isnt a "winner" or "loser" in dance unless you're part of a competition studio, dance has a very competitive nature. You're competing with the other students in your class in order to improve. You're doing things such as trying to leap higher, turn more, hold a balance longer, extend your leg higher, etc. in each and every class. You're not only competing with the girls and boys around you but you're also competing with yourself. You're fighting to improve even just a fraction more each class.
