I know this place isn't really busy these days but I am asking all of my friends this and I do consider all of you to be among them. You see I have been having a "discussion" lately with another dancer about how the general public see the performing arts. As I find my self in the position of my view on the subject being completely discounted I decided to turn to you, my friends to help me (PLEASE!). I really need some answers to the following questions so I can compile some data that is not just my opinion. So if you are willing to help please continue with the following poll of three questions. Please do not try and spare my or anyone's feelings; I need you to brutally honest.
1. Do you consider the following to be; Fine Art (FA), Art (A), or Not Art (NA):
A.Ballet B.Modern Dance C.Ballroom Dance D.Latin Dance E.Bellydance F.Burlesque G.Pole Dance
2. Do you consider a style that is performed primarily in the below locations to be; Fine Art (FA), Art (A), or Not Art (NA):
A.TV B.Stage C.Community Fair D.Restaurant E.Night Club F.Weddings G. Private Parties
3. What do you consider a performer to be on a scale of 1 (absolute amateur) to 10 (top professional) if they perform primarily at the below locations:
A.TV B.Stage C.Community Fair D.Restaurant E.Night Club F.Weddings G. Private Parties

I agree with ICC's assessment for question 1. As for the other two questions, in my mind the location where something is performed is a very minor factor in my assessment of the "artness" of the activity or "professionalness" of the performer.
