Arts Project Support

Success for U Dance Fest revolves around two objectives. First, providing a welcoming and supportive environment for people of all abilities to experience ballroom dance or express themselves through ballroom dance. We hope to give all participants, spectators, and volunteers a memorable and life impacting event that helps form a deeper connection with those in attendance to the world of DanceSport and the benefits it provides. Additionally, we hope to introduce as many people as possible to ballroom dancing jumpstart their interest in ballroom dancing - either as ‘newcomer’ participants or as first time spectators. U Dance Fest will evaluate its artistic and community goals through three different methods. The first consists of yearly attendance for spectators and participants which can be recorded through ticket sales and registration numbers. We also host a leadership conference during lunch on the second day of the event. At this conference influential members of local teams and organizations join us for a discussion about how the event went and how we can make it better for the next year. Lastly, an optional online survey will be available for all participants in the competition with a free reward upon completion. The survey will consist of several short answer questions about the demographics of our participants and their experience with U Dance Fest 2020.
