With regards to the 3 class types, ballet and tap are mostly preferred by learners under 11, while modern dance classes are more common among the older group. Specifically, those under 11 make up the bulk of ballet classes with around 600 students, twice as many as those from 11 to 16 years old (300). Tap dance classes, however, show a more balanced distribution, with about 450 students that fall into the under 11 brackets, slightly higher than approximately 420 for those from 11 to 16.
