Not really- Ballet is a type of dance, so if you were doing ballet you would be dancing, but if you were dancing you wouldn't neccessarily be doing ballet.For example, you could be doing tap, jazz or ballroom.

Although people may think of ballet as a sport, surprisingly and technically dance is a performing art, not a sport. However, dance as well as specifically ballet requires energy, you also have to make it look easy and flawless, which makes it harder than all sports. This is because dance and ballet is not done to win but to become stronger and entertain. Those who compete might be able to say it's a sport, however this isn't the primary idea of ballet. Ballet is generally known as an art form because of it's beauty and style, this is the same with many other styles of dance.
