Dance sport is more than just dancing. It is unique, as it combines the elements of both art and sport. Dance sport is competitive ballroom dancing, as contrasted with social or exhibition dancing. It contributes to positive psychological benefits and elevated self-esteem. Movement and dance improve the emotional well-being of all children and young people, especially those with cognitive and emotional challenges in dealing with conflict resolution and violence. Dance sport develops physical strength, agility, coordination, stamina, endurance and fitness. It has an anti-bullying effect – it promotes discipline, respect for others and teamwork.
