Yes, competitive dance is definitely a sport. It holds all the elements that "normal" sports have: teams, competition, long practices, hard work, dedication, trophies, judges (which are like referees in any other sport) its not free to participate in, and traveling is involved. So competitive dancing is definitely a sport.

Is trapeze a sport?

YES!!! Technically, the trapeze is competitive because if you have a trapeze competition, you have to be competitive and have a good routine. What about dance? Dance is a sport! So yes, trapeze is a sport. A sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determiner of the outcome (winning or losing), but the term is also used to include activities such as mind sports (a common name for some card games and board games with little to no element of chance) and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors.That was from Wikipedia.com - I didn't make that up. Now that I've prove my point, let me just say, TRAPEZE IS A SPORT!!!!!no - it is defined as an 'aerial art' ie is considered an performance art form along with dance etc. Also a 'circus art'. It is not considered a sport like gymnastics, however I would say the static trapeze combines dance and gymnastic/acrobatics and flying trapeze is more acrobatic. Sport tends to be competitive - trapeze is never competitive.
