Also, did ballroom dancing become an Olympic sport?

It is becoming an Olympic sport. I *think* last Olympics was it's exhibition year and this year is it's first official year.

Now, I'm a classically trained dancer (though not ballroom) and I understand the physicality of it. However, it is NOT a sport! It's completely artistic. I know people think that ice skating is all artistic, but there are actual steps/elements that have to be included and have certain point values. In ballroom dancing it's all up to the judges and nothing is required. I just don't see it as a sport...but I will be watching if it gets TV coverage!
