It is a trapeze act and not a dance

We get to see it on reality shows where there are dance compeitions I really do not know why it is called dancing as all what I see are trapeze acts. The body is twisted and the legs make moves that have no element of dancing in them. I truly miss the good old dances that had grace and style Image credit:

The arts evolved so much. That is now called dancing while putting something in a canvas is already called visual arts

I would not think it would be dancing at all.

It shows the mindset of today's youngsters.

There are so many "new" categories for everything now. There are so many "cross over" categories - not quite this or that but a mixture. I know some dance routines do include gymnastic/acrobatic type moves - it's more athletic.

@allknowing Do you like "social dance", as you mentioned partners? Ballroom dances such as waltz or fox trot, etc.

It is a kind of dance and these days dancing is done that looks like trapeze acts for which you do not need partners.
