Nonfinancial Performance Measures. The Little Feet Dance Association is a performing arts program in an urban area. It was established to increase appreciation for dance among youth and strengthen social bonds in the community. The association has been in existence for several years, and it has recently attracted the attention of several governmental, foundation, and private donors who support its cause.
