When I was 14 years old, my best friend (drag) me to an after-school dance class, I enjoyed so much that I have been dancing ever since. After every dance class, however, I always have to stretch out my legs and back! It feels like as much exercise as (go) to the gym—but dancing is not (wide) considered to be a sport.
Many dancers would argue that dancing is a sport, as it requires strong muscles and impressive flexibility. No matter what style of dance you are participating in, you will always be using all of (you) muscles while dancing and this can often be for several hours a day.
On other hand, many people argue that dance is an art form. Dances often exhibit emotion (情感), tell (story), etc. Dancing to music is creative and visually appealing to the eyes and ears, just like watching a play or a(n) (profession) band. The shining costumes, the stage make-up and the big hairstyles are artistic and imaginative.
However, whether you consider dance to be an art a sport, the important thing is to enjoy it! Dancing is a great way (make) new friends and exercise!
