Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

750 students will participate in a dance residency program that provides an opportunity to create, perform and respond to contemporary dance. Staff members and outside evaluators will track the number of students who participate, and will collect and analyze verbal and written feedback from participants. 2: Students will experience the live performing arts through three visits to the Ordway, including a showcase of the Dance to Learn Teaching Artists. To ease barriers to participation we will offer schools who participate a free residency program, reduced ticket prices, and bus reimbursements for visits to the Ordway.
