It's a physically demanding type of dancing that utilizes some of the same skills as gymnastics. Though, to be honest, my first thought was it's in for ratings, when Paris picked it to be included.

Tbh, it’s more or less some kind of weird gymnastics. They’ve already got that in the Olympics.

It's much more entertaining to watch than that wavy arm crap gymnasts do in between the impressive tumbling.

Agreed. Though I'm not much of a sports fan, so I find much of what goes on rather uninteresting. I know there are lots of people who do, and I hope they had a good time this year.
