Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to continue to grow our audiences reaching more diverse audiences around the region, specifically by seeking to grow our school show and special needs audiences. We will rely on data collection to measure our outcomes, including overall ticket sales, schools attending from what areas, number of students who attend and number of special needs tickets requested.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Overall we experienced an increase in ticket sales for both shows, demonstrating an expanding reach. We also had a slight increase in membership, especially among our younger dancers.
