Summary
The New Jersey Dance Needs Assessment Project 2005 was conducted by the Research Center for Arts and Culture. The purpose of the study was to develop a comprehensive profile of New Jersey's dance workforce and to better understand the most critical needs confronting dance community. The dance community members were defined as the dancers and workers involved in dance, and included individual choreographers, performers, folk and traditional artists as well as administrators and educators, managers, dancers, costumers, and designers throughout the state of New Jersey. A total of 992 individuals were identified as dancers or dance workers in New Jersey and a paper survey was mailed to the identified individuals. The New Jersey Needs Assessment Project 2005 was funded by The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and The New Jersey State Council on the Arts.Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR35238.v1
