As a result of this program, community members will experience the joys of participatory dance and increase contra dance awareness and skills through monthly contra dances with instruction and live music. Evaluation methods include short questionnaires (aka surveys) filled out by dancers at each dance and artist interviews afterwards to measure dancers' awareness and engagement and how successfully we addressed barriers.
