Karios Alive! intends to mount 12 in-person Dancing Heart™ dance, music and story engagement sessions, 24 interactive participatory live streamed Dancing Heart™ Live sessions, and a culminating in-person Intergenerational Dance Hall™. We anticipate 215+ total participants in all sessions, and that in pre- and post-event surveys, 75% of respondents will report increased understanding of dance/music/story forms, and 75% will report increased feelings of recognition and importance. Audience/participant counts will be tallied. Participants complete a short pre and post survey in English and Spanish (and other translation, as needed) that measures self-perceived qualitative changes in their artistic, social, cognitive and physical engagement developed in consultation with our research collaborator, Dr. Adriana Perez. At the IDH and for the pre and post Dancing Heart™ surveys (English, Spanish and other), participants are invited to answer a few questions using a systematic sampling approach. Participants self-rate any (1) mood improvement (2) feelings of recognition and importance, (3) feelings of social connection, (4) increase in physical movement/mobility, (5) dance, music, story learning, (6) increase in appreciation for cultures not their own. Participants are also asked if the event has motivated them to creatively express themselves in new ways and allows room for additional comments.
