Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The dances are a participatory activity that removes the separation of the artist and the audience/dancers. These dances are the only events like this in Southeastern Minnesota, especially with quality artists, an inspiration to others to sponsor similar events. Attendance, as well as first-hand feedback from attendees, are the measures of the success of these events.
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.
