Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Students will work or have conversations with 8-12 alumni and hear about the lasting impact of dance educations. 90% of students will report that they experience benefits of their dance education that alumni identify. We will track the number of alumni who work with Young Dance during the year and make written summaries of conversations and well as record the Discussion series to observe and look for commonalities among the benefits listed. We will reflect with dancers in conversations and through written surveys about the benefits they experience through dance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

15 Alumni reported a high value that the ways they were taught and engaged in dance at Young Dance has impacted their lives. Over 70% of dancers who participated throughout the year reported that dance was valuable in sustaining them during the year of the pandemic. 2 choreographers who are individuals with disabilities, report they gained confidence and skills working with Young Dance Company.
