However, the options for types of dance classes vary significantly across ages. Regarding ballet, kids under 11 years old outperformed teenagers between 11 and 16 years old by reaching 600 participants, which is twice as many as teenagers’ nearly 300 participants. In contrast, modern dance has become the preferred choice for teenagers, achieving almost two-thirds as many participants as that of children (510 versus 300). Notably, the difference between the two age groups is least pronounced in tap dance, where children reach 430 participants, slightly ahead of teenagers’ 420 participants.
