Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Zorongo's Majas (apprentices) receive a 90% or greater rating on comprehension of new techniques taught. On a scale of one, being the lowest, to five the majority of participants rate the workshop four or higher to the question, "Did the workshops meet your expectations?" The evaluation methods for the workshops will include observations by the instructors and Susana di Palma to determine participants' level of comprehension. Additionally, teacher and participant surveys will be used to determine overall satisfaction and personal assessment of progress.

Measurable Outcome(s)

An exciting outcome from this project of working with D’Arch and Ara was watching the growth and professionalism of the Majas and company dancers. These strong women rose above the call of duty to work with these supportive and artistically demanding artists. Artistic Director Susana di Palma rated the dancers 98% on the comprehension of learning these diverse choreographies and techniques.
