The term Dancesport implies a simple truth that dance is a sport, and sport is a science. Sport science is a discipline incorporates physiology, psychology, anatomy, biomechanics, biochemistry, and kinesiology.
It’s a grand study.
However, dancers usually get only a basic touch of biomechanics and anatomy, professional coaches dig deeper into these plus kinesiology, very few have a comprehensive knowledge of all.
It is completely understandable because practically a dancer doesn’t need much.
Basic physics like centrifugal force and the principle of leverage helps turns and lifts; basic geometry regarding shapes and distance helps the design and shaping of postures; and elementary arithmetic helps grouping and organising the musical phrases into reasonable choreography…
So you see, dance is really a science, a beautifully presented art.
