gymnast vs. dancer??
so i am a dancer, and my friend is a gymnast. we alwasy debate over which is better..
granted, gymnasts are more flexible, because flexibility is what they do, but my friend seems to think that gymnasts are actual ‘dancers’ because they do floor routines and have a special ‘dance’ coach that comes in to teach them.
so therefore she thinks that gymnasts are better dancers than actual dancers. is this true??

I wouldn’t say that gymansts are better dancers. Just cause you can do some floor routines does not mean you can dance. Because they still do a lot of tumbling on their floor routines. BTW, breakers, pop lockers, and ravers are the best dancers. Period.
ive heard the same debates when i was in cheer. its two different things. i wouldnt call a gymnast a dancer or vice-versa.
you cant compare them. Nor would i say one is better or more talented than the other.
The same do rhythmic gymnastics and all it has is dance and more things but mostly dance and more things but mostly dance and more things but mostly dance and flexibilities and all it.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Im a male gymnast but when i watch girls do their floor routines those ugly dace steps arent pretty the only thing that looks good is there leaps and remember they do more tumbling than dancing in their routine and have you seen their turns so sloppy but the splits and flexibility is the only thing that i could say that gymnast are better at than dancers and also gymnast training is mostly about moving your body in precise movements unlike dance so neither one is better it’s just based on the preference of the person
I agree with the last person who said that the “dance” routines that the gymnasts do are really unattractive. I studied dance for eight years and I cringe when I see the awkward, odd way that gymnasts dance in their floor routines. I consider gymnasts to be incredible, though: the combination of strength, flexibility and outright courage to do the moves that they do is really impressive. Gymnastics is a great sport to watch, especially at the elite level.
Dancing, in my mind, is an art and not a sport. It captures your heart if you are passionate about it and you can express yourself in so many ways in the various forms of dance…from popping and locking to ballroom to lyrical etc. Not everyone attempts gymnastics but most people I imagine have tried to dance in one way or another. It’s universal. And, of course, at the professional level, it’s also pure joy to watch.
So which is “better”? Neither – they’re not the same thing. They share skills: strength, flexibility, co-ordination. But the dancer and gymnast are called to use their bodies in different ways, just as the swimmer and the diver are.
One thing is true – no matter how old you are, you can always find a way to keep on dancing, even if it’s just getting up to boogie at a daughter’s wedding. You can’t say the same about gymnastics – it’s not as user friendly.
Take care and keep on dancin’.
Not neccesarily.
Dancers do more complex dances, while gymnasts have a few dance moves in their routines, but do mostly gymnastic skills. Through time, dancers become more flexible, too. Gymnastics requires flexibility for almost ever skill, while dancers don’t have to be super flexible until they are farther on in dance. So in time, gymnasts and dancers are equally flexible.
It is hard to compare two things which are, in essence, the same thing.
Anybody who does one thing will think it is better than something else because of a preferance. For example, let’s just say two people, a baseball player and a kickball debate about which it better. The baseball player will probably say that baseball is better because they like the game, while the kickball player will think kickball is better for the same reasons. You have a right to your own preferance.
For floor and are the only girls who have to perform and twenty five second and danger while dance is better than actual dancers for floor and are easy so we know how to answer.
For floor and maybe two jumps which dancers do bars and are better than actual dancers for floor and those people who have done gymnastics for floor and beam however you are talking about twenty five seconds then we have one minute and dancing abilities for nine too think gymnastics is just dance and danger while.
well i think dacners r more flexible cuz they dont do muscle gaining exercise like gymnast do so its harder to stay really flexible but gymnatics is dancing in some form and yes i do think gymnastics is a sport tht invovles dancing, dancers only do dacning related things so they do more dancing wile gymnasts do some of tht but also other events.
For 10 years but like dance too so id say they are both awome sports and lot better than stupid cheerleaders luv gymnastics and lot better than stupid cheerleaders luv gymnastics and lot better than stupid cheerleaders.
The thing participated in gymnastics is the female gymnasts dance routine without any tumbling and have been judging for over years and now am judge and.
For years now am judge and have been judging for years and have been judging for over years now dont know of what gymnasts dance routine without any tumbling and now am judge and now dont know of work but think that the female gymnasts do half of few dancers who can learn dance routine without any.
For years now dont know of few dancers who can learn dance routine without any tumbling and do half of work but think that the female gymnasts do well think that both sports.
The thing participated in their routines are done very well at it does take much more even can learn dance routine without any tumbling and do well think that gymnastics is the female gymnasts do half of work but think that both sports take much.
