A parent said:

I want to acknowledge you for your extraordinary vision of Danceversity, the beauty of our children dancing in community yesterday, and the obvious love you brought to them during this program! At the performance I witnessed a living, participatory, and inclusive expression of what it means to be a world citizen. I saw our kids sample the delectable feast of cultures, expressed in music and dance, which you created for them. I am so grateful for this opportunity for my daughters to push back the horizons of their own humanity as they experienced how so many others around the world express theirs.

The Results Are In

DANCEVERSITY WORKS! In our fourth summer, we surveyed campers, parents and faculty in order to evaluate Danceversity and help us move forward. Below are a few statistics that emerged:

70% of campers reported feeling shy about dancing before camp started, while 63% stated they felt less shy about dancing after just one week of camp.
88% of campers report knowing more about world cultures than they did before Danceversity.
100% of campers agree with the statement "I feel like I succeeded and I am proud of myself."
60% of parents and 100% of faculty agree that one of the major strengths of the Danceversity program is the diversity of dance forms taught. Parents also list "the amazing faculty", "an embracing of diverse body types" and "the positive atmosphere" as strengths of the program.
