A "sport" is commonly defined as an athletic activity requiring strength and skill, combined with an element of competition. Ballet requires strength. If the dancer is en pointe, they are supporting their entire body weight on the tips of their toes, while also doing spins and and jumps. A dancer's toes may bleed if they have been en pointe for an excessive amount of time, yet the student will not let that deter them. Those who do ballet also need a mental strength: confidence is key. Dancers need to be sure of themselves if they want to succeed in the dance world, and not despair after every rejection from an audition. Ballet definitely requires skill. Not everyone can just hop into pointe shoes and dance, it takes years of training, hours of rehearsal, flexibility, and confidence to be a good at ballet. Just learning to go en pointe can take years and years of hard work and practice. Ballet is also competitive. There are literal competitions ballet dancers can enter, but every audition is also a contest.
Ballet is not only a rigorous sport, but also a beautiful art form. It takes a perfect combination of athleticism and grace to be a ballet dancer.

If ballet is a dance and dance is a sport does that mean ballet is a sport?
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.
