Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 200 audience members with 75 students participating. 60% of parents attesting to their children becoming more confident in themselves and dance. We will survey students and/or parents as well as interview audience members. We will also keep count of event attendees.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The responses from our parents and first time visitors was that this was the best show that they have ever seen. This Winter Showcase was the most requested DVD that we have had to date. We accomplished each of our goals with the exception of a venue change. Yes all of our artistic goals were achieved and we had a phenomenal show. Everything went well are strengths were in our ability to build on the previous year’s performance and make a better show. We successfully reached our target audience. For those people who didn't have a way to the venue, we provided rides for community members. To get a more diverse audience for next year we are going to expand the area in which we advertise.
