Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Teach 15 classes to 30 individuals and then perform 2 routines at the annual Rondo Days Festival in July in Saint Paul. Through surveys with participants will show 90% had a positive experience through their involvement with Stepping classes. Feedback will be sought via online and paper surveys. Surveys will be available at each of the final 2 classes with a special emphasis in polling the students who participate in the final performance at Rondo Days in July 2019.
