Finding out Tom Holland did ballet and gymnastics and how it affected how he could act as spiderman was an absolute game changer for me. My eyes had been opened.
Like, yeah, spiderman would be phenomenal at performance sports like that. He'd be AMAZING. More than that, do you know how insanely fun it is to bend and flip and stretch??
Spiderman is famous for being a speed/flexibility build, rather than tanky like so many other high ranking heroes. Instead of the normal super speed/strength/durability/energy blast powerset, he has stuff like super balance, or super agility. He's small and light, bendy and strong, fast and precise.
More than that, he could be interested in learning the performance sports. They teach ways to move and hold your body in ways sparring or katas can't, and once he's progressed far enough with his fighting skills I can definitely see him turning towards the movement side of things - also a very important part of his skillset in comparison to the average hero's.

Hnnnng spiderman doing a collab/solo performance with a company out of absolutely nowhere (he's been practicing and training religiously for weeks and months and years) and it gets a huge audience/huge views and yeah everyone expects good things but he just blows it out the water. Jjj has no context to build on. He watches it several times and the worst thing he can say is about spiderman setting the bar too high and making other performers feel bad (those in the know who helped him train got tickets to see it live specially).
