Dance is a Sport

Some regard it as nothing
Some, as something.

Dance is both a sport
And an art.
It can be harsh
But also sweet like a tart.

To be a dancer, like a boxer,
You have to be fit.
And every beat, like a drum.
You have to hit.

A ballerina has to be able to fly across the room
Like there is no gravity.
A hip hop dancer
Has to burst with tons of energy.

Strength is the most
Important key.
Without it,
Dance teachers will tell you to leave.

Despite its negatives,
There are a lot of positives.

When I dance,
I feel like there is no pain.
Everything is carefree,
There is no rain.

I enter a world
Of complete bliss.
I dont get discouraged
Even with one miss.

Dance allows me to
Freely express
Without any
Outside stress.

But dance is
Definitely a sport.
More intense than any other
Of its sort.

It takes up a lot of
Effort and energy.
I dont get why people
Make fun of me.

Guys make fun
of it and say that it is easy.
I would like to see them try
And then they can tell me.

They think that girls
Cant be strong
But oh how they are
So so wrong.

Some dancers are so hardcore
That they are so strong
and can beat those bullies
To the hard, cold floor.

Dance is a sport.
Dance is Love.
