Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Quantitative: Number of participants who attended 4 or more classes, will continue with Saint Paul Ballet in the fall. Qualitative: Students felt welcome at Saint Paul Ballet, were satisfied with the quality of the instruction, and could afford the classes. We will be reporting student participant counts and surveys including parent surveys. We will also be reporting our teacher reporting on the success of the program structure, content and participants.
Measurable Outcome(s)
34 new students participated in summer ballet class programs; more than half of these continued into the school year. Several have moved into the full-term program. Mixed ages allowed siblings to take together and made classes affordable.
