The charts show where and what types of dance classes young people in an Australian town are currently taking.

Overall, private studios account for the greatest proportion of people attending dance classes. While ballet is the most popular type of class among children under 11, modern dance has the highest participation among those in the 11-16 age bracket.

Nearly half (48%) of participants attend dance classes in private studios, while around a quarter (24%) take classes in school halls after school. Community halls and other locations contribute another 18% of attendees versus college-based studios’ 10%.

Ballet is the class most participated-in among children younger than 11, with 600 attendees.This is double the number of 11-16 year olds taking ballet. Modern dance classes, in comparison, are most popular among 11- to 16-year-olds. Approximately 520 of them attend, compared to 300 of those below 11. Tap classes show similar popularity among both age groups, attracting roughly 440 participants under the age of 11 and 420 aged 11 to 16. (168 Words)

  1. the pie chart shows actually the contribution of these different community centers in holding dance classes not the proportion of people attending to dance classes. I had misunderstood at first just like you.

    1. I read the first chart correctly. Note that my essay uses “proportion of participants attending dance classes”, not “proportion of people attending dance classes”.

  2. Lille, before writing I couldn’t manage my ideas logically. But after seeing your writing, I would able to adopt my ideas. Would you mind defying my deficiency?

  3. Hi Lilie. Your description for the charts is always helpful though I’d like to point out a mistake. For the tap dance, 440 participants are from under 11 age group and not from 11-16 bracket. Thank you so much for your amazing work.
