Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We evaluate our success in many ways: increasing class attendance; addition of new artists; increased sales of artistic works and the receipt of increases sales commissions.The methods that we use to measure out outcomes are through data collection (class attendance, gallery sales, and physical count of visitors to our gallery on a daily basis), requests for additional classes via email, telephone or personal contact.

Measurable Outcome(s)

To provide a full-staged professional, theatrical dance production for area dancers to participate in at an affordable cost. Participation fees did not increase for the dancers during and the fees were reduced slightly for the youngest dancers. The number of dancers participating remained consistent with the past several years' productions.
