Measurable Outcome(s)

The community served during this project closely mirrored the community discussed in the original proposal. We were also honored to have over 200 Minneapolis public high school students in attendance during the complimentary morning student performance. Via the discussion for the student performances, one outcome included students learning they had to work hard and put in their “10K” hours (and then some) of work in pursuit of their goals. Another outcome was continuing to expand the bounds of skating. Due to wonderful performance attendance and marketing efforts, another outcome included Brownbody and this artistic genre gaining more visibility.
