What Keeps Families Committed to Youth Dance During Economic Uncertainty

This project contains materials for an observational survey study examining factors associated with families’ stated commitment to continued youth dance participation under hypothetical financial constraint. The study includes a cross-sectional parent survey (n = 282), a post hoc protocol and statistical analysis plan, and a full analytic manuscript. The project was not preregistered prior to data collection; a post hoc protocol and SAP are provided for transparency. The primary audience for this work includes dance studio operators, educators, and practitioners interested in family decision-making, household resilience, and extracurricular participation under economic uncertainty.
