From the information on the pie chart, the proportion of students that participated in dances is 20 out of 100.

Then, if we represent this in a bar chart where 100% is 10 squares, the proportion of students that participated in dances should be represented by:


\begin{gathered} 100\%\longrightarrow10\text{ squares} \\ (20)/(100)\cdot100\%=20\%\longrightarrow(20\%)/(100\%)\cdot10=2\text{ squares} \end{gathered}

Answer: 2 shaded squares out of 10 squares
