Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

40 dancers at varying levels of training and experience will take part in Summer Dance Intensive 2019 week-long beginner or advanced arts learning sessions, including a final Public Showing. 85% of participants will have enjoyed learning new techniques in African Diaspora dance forms and will feel comfortable incorporating aspects of these new movement techniques into their own professional work or personal movement practices. We will evaluate quantitative data such as number of students who participated, number who were able to afford the full tuition or needed a scholarship, and number of audiences. More importantly, we will evaluate qualitative criteria: participants’ perception of the quality of this experience; effectiveness of the timeframe; appropriateness of the learning components; satisfaction with the creative process; and audience satisfaction with the work itself, the intimate venue format, and the post-show social engagement.

Measurable Outcome(s)

10 students participated in our summer intensive and 35 people attended the public showing, samba lesson and party. 100% of participants reported that they enjoyed learning new techniques in the African Diaspora and will feel comfortable incorporating what they learned into their own professional work or personal movement practices.
