Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will provide partner social dance instruction, as well as social-emotional learning opportunities to at least 150 fifth grade students from 3 Twin Cities schools. Through Dancing Classrooms, 70% of educators and parents of participants will see a positive change in the way their children feel about themselves. We will evaluate the effectiveness of the Dancing Classrooms program through participant, parent and teacher/principal surveys. We will also evaluate the program through participant count.

Measurable Outcome(s)

200 Twin Cities fifth grade students experienced the life-changing power of Dancing Classrooms. In addition, 84% of surveyed parents noticed positive changes in how their children felt about themselves during the Dancing Classrooms semester.
