Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We estimate that 25 dancers will learn and experience ancestral teachings from various artist resident workshops held at Indigenous Roots Cultural Arts Center. Of the 25 participants, 50% or more will retain the knowledge and be able to pass it down to dancers in the beginner's level. Evaluation methods are, but not limited to: Audience/participant count, Audience/participant surveys, Artist surveys which will be implemented on the day of event/workshop or within five days if done online.

Measurable Outcome(s)

25 dancers learned and experienced ancestral teachings from various artist resident workshops held at Indigenous Roots Cultural Arts Center. Of the 25 participants, 13 dancers were able to demonstrate 4 dances, 3 songs as well as names of the dances in English, Spanish and Nahuatl.
