Dear friends, Sport Dance isn't a new game. This advancement in dance came with the advancement of human being. The history of dance is very old and very detailed. Different countries have different kinds of dance and dance forms. Dance does not have any boundaries of language or province. Different dance forms have originated from different cultures. Dance has all the necessities to be well-known and to receive a recognition. Unfortunately, it was very late when this art form was looked upon in this way.
Dance is known as a performing art form. Its artistic elements like gracefulness, expressive, entertaining, musicality and story telling makes dance popular art form. But if we look closely dance can be a sport too. Definition of a sport is "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Dance meets all these criteria. Dance involves high intense physical activity; it focuses on strength, stamina and flexibility like a sportsperson. Dance has both the artistic elements and athletic elements. So dance can be considered as a sport. Based on this concept Mr.Purushotham Jagtap has introduced SportDance in 2012. Thereafter international, Asian and National federations has been formed to promote, implement & develop SportDance activities across the globe.
