Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A very obvious outcome of these regular dances is the number of times we are contacted to provide music and dance for community and private events. It enables us to reach out to ever larger groups, to expand and share this art with growing numbers.Feedback from dancers is an all-important method of evaluating the experience. Meeting or exceeding the estimated income is the measure of financial success.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Having many new participants dancing to live music and calling for the first time. Also, seeing a core of dancers returning, and bringing friends new to the activity.
