Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

130 individuals will participate in integrated dance classes with Young Dance. Participants in all programs will use creative movement as a vehicle for communication. Young Dance will track the number of participants in each class. Young Dance teaching staff and staff of organizational partners will record observations of participants during classes; we will collect participant reflection through written surveys and discussions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

More individuals living with disabilities enrolled in Young Dance classes that are not All Abilities Dancing specific classes. Participants used movement to communicate and build relationships non-verbally, especially between individuals who function cognitively at different levels.
