Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
30 dancers, ages 7-18, participate in projects created by 4 professional artists. 85% of participants can identify something new they discovered through their dance experiences in this project. We will track the number of dancer and artist participants in the projects. We will conduct verbal and video reflections at the end of each project and we will conduct a survey at the end of the year to track the number of participants who can identify something new they discovered through their experiences in this project.
