Thanks for the suggestions. I'll add a few (though I've already started collecting data but I should be able to fill in the blanks or enter a NULL value to any column).
I've decided to quantify the mood at the beginning:
Mood: {Good, Average, Poor}
The expectation of the evening I like. If you have high expectations you can often be let down whereas if you aren't expecting much you might find it a surprise. It will be interesting to see if there is a correlation between Low Expectation and a good Enjoyment level:
Expectation: {High, Medium, Low, None}
Also the gender balance thing. It can also change throughout an event (if an event is a day at a weekender say) or even in the course of an evening. However I do think it can make a major impact. I'm not going to measure directly but I think adding a ratio of songs sat out might be good to measure; though it should more accurately be "songs that you've been forced to sit out on". It somewhat reflects the gender balance and a few other factors:
Dance Ratio: {All, Most, Many, Few}
I'm going to skip the improvement, Tones, as I think it can be difficult to measure improvement at an event and often you'll learn some moves you really like only to not include them in regular freestyle. I did include Own Skill as a measure of when you are having an off night.
As for the ratio of good dances this might be in expectation or maybe I should include a Skill At Event though it is a very relative thing and they might be having an off night .
