I know there is controversy about whether dance is a sport at all. But there are some arguments that can be made to say that tap dancing can most definitely be considered a sport. It's athletic. If you pick your feet up and use your whole body you should be breathing fairly hard by the end of the routine. More athletic than Golf which is considered a sport. This alone doesn't make it a sport for most people. All sports are competing against another person or group. Ever go to a dance competition? It's highly competitive. There's music... so what? Gymnasts have music in their meets for floor work and beam and gymnastics is a sport. Also the mental capacity needed for a tap dancer is quite extreme to learn all of those rhythms and the order of all the steps. Tap dancing is a sport:

1. Athletic

2. Dance Competitions

3. Music is okay to use in a sport

4. Mental sport as well, common sense.
