Engaging Dance Audiences (EDA)
• Events are free and open to the public; no ticket purchase or pre-registration required.
• Night School and You Can Dance are generally low-cost events; we have partnership agreements for using space, pay facilitators/workshop leaders an honorarium. Main cost is staff time for planning and implementation.

Goals
• Encourage audience members to make personally meaningful connections to dance.
• Provide a diversity of ways for audience members to learn about dance that privileged peer-to-peer learning, social interaction and dialogue, and worked against the idea that you have to be an “expert” to have a meaningful experience with dance.
• Through movement exercises, encouraged audience members to learn about dance by moving themselves.

“Before Night School, we weren’t big
dance people. We wouldn’t have come (to this performance) if not for Night School.
It has been our entry port to the whole genre.”
![Page 13: UMS Engaging Dance Audiences Impact (PAE Sept 2015)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/58ec84581a28ab666f8b470d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“I have a much better appreciation of the work that goes into a dance performance.
You know, the choreographers, the dancers, and the people who basically put the ideas together. It’s a lot more concrete for me now than the way I thought about it
before.”

“My knowledge of dance was very minimal. I’d gone to a number of shows and all that. I knew
something was there, I knew people worked very hard at it. It’s just I just never knew what
was under the hood. And this was a good peek under there. And there’s certainly a lot more there than I ever thought…than I ever even
imagined. It’s truly a big discipline that I didn’t understood fully before.”
