Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants across our programs will understand ways that dance supports health and well-being. Surveys to participants and families and in-class reflections administered by Teaching Artists will collect data about ways dancers experience connections between dance and health and well-being. 2: Teacher training will equip our Teaching Artists with knowledge and tools to meet the needs of diverse abilities across all of our programs. Teaching artists will provide feedback on their readiness to meet the needs of students in their classes. Families of participants will complete surveys about how effectively the class accommodated the needs of students.
