Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Young Dance will provide 75 people the opportunity to participate in Integrated Dance classes at 5 different locations. Participants in the Dance for All Abilities class will grow in their ability to understand, discuss and participate in dance. Continuing dancers in the Dance for All Abilities class will articulate learning goals in dance, and be able to evaluate their success at achieving them. We will track participation in the Integrated Dance classes with partner organizations.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Young Dance engaged 105 participants in extended learning opportunities through 11 All Abilities Dancing programs. Teen girls, living with trauma-induced emotional and behavioral disorders, overcame resistance to participate, engaged in collaborative and leadership roles, and demonstrated supportive behaviors towards each other, through dance activities.
