Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Young Dance will engage 100 people, living with disabilities, in extended learning opportunities in dance. Young Dance will develop an integrated dance curriculum. We will track the numbers of participants in our varying learning activities. We will document the curriculum we create and how it is used in subsequent Young Dance classes and by our partners.

Measurable Outcome(s)

120 individuals participated in Young Dance classes and school residencies. Young Dance teaching staff documented goals of an integrated dance curriculum, and developed a series of lessons for two distinct foci within the dance curriculum: 1) lessons aligned with mindfulness, emotional regulation and interpersonal relations; 2) lessons in dance concepts aligned with communication skills
