My friend is a dancer and considers it a sport. I do cross country, and don't believe dance is a sport. Every other sport has a common ground where you are doing the exact same thing with skill. It's easy to judge who wins a game in all sports. But in dance there are different routines, therefore you cannot exactly judge equally because you are not seeing all teams try to perform the same routine. I consider it more of an art/entertainment. Is it actually considered a sport officially? Does anyone agree with me?

No. It is competitive but it is not a sport. Many professional competitions are held all over the world but it is not a sport competition.

No offense, but this question was asked 239 times before. You might be curious to see what people said before. http://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=Ap1qo11ad9L3wyjpaAyBM37zy6IX?p=is+dance+a+sport
There is always a debate over it. First and foremost, dance is art. Maybe your friend is at a stage when he/she is developing the technique. This is when people tend to insist that it is a sport. Once he/she is past that stage, he/she will hopefully reclaim the artistic aspect of it.
Dancesport is officially recognized as a sport by Olympic Committee. There are competitions. In short, it is very much like ice skating which is recognized as a sport for a long time.

yeah , i think it can be. Sports involves moving around ... kicking , jumping, hopping up and down < in basketball, running etc. So why isn't dancing ? don't you do that too in dance. Ballet, is dance , running , jumping , leaping etc. Dance is also sport cause of all that sweating that's involve too . DANCE IS ALSO SPORT CAUSE OF CHEERING LEADING THEY HAVE WHAT THEY CALL " DANCELINE RIGHT ? Where they dance right? and there are teams right ? all in routine RIGHT !!! ???

Any physical activity you compete in is a sport. Sport is the act of competing.

I agree with you. I think it's more of a recreational activity. I could never imagine it being held at a real Summer Olympics.
