IELTS Cambridge 19 Essay: Dance Classes Australian Town

The pie chart and bar chart detail information concerning dance classes currently being attended by young people in an Australian town. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the vast majority of classes are hosted in private studios, followed by school halls, community halls, and, most distantly, college studios. For very young children, ballet and tap dancing are more popular, while the preferred option for older students is modern dance.
Regarding the location of dance classes in the town, private studios account for 48% of the total, precisely double the figure for after-school school halls (24%). Community and other halls trail this data point slightly at 18% and the least common venue is college-based studios at just 10%.
Concerning the varieties of dance classes popular with different age demographics, ballet is most notable with over 600 students under age 11, and only 300 students aged 11 to 16. The age disparity narrows for tap classes with 410 older students and 440 younger ones. Modern dance displays the opposite trend to ballet with far more older students (520) relative to their younger counterparts (300).
