Dance is certainly all of these things as it is a fun way to entertain someone and exercise. Dance takes a lot more skill than most people realise and is definitely under estimated by the general population.

There are  any genres of dance including break-dancing. But in the 2024 Paris Olympics one the new 'sports' is break-dancing. Do some people not realise what amazing things there missing out on, like ballet, Irish dancing and tap.
