Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 230 people attend the performance, 10% of whom have never attended a Cypher Side event. In small group discussions with their teachers, 90% of student performers are able to express something they learned throughout the rehearsal process and one specific dance/performance goal they want to work on. Audience and participant counts, Teacher-led small-group discussions with student dancers to record students thoughts about what they learned and their future dance goals. Audience "shout out" to determine who is attending for the first time and where most attendees live.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The most significant outcome that resulted from the completion of our showcase was the result of the increase of student enrollment for the following season. We saw an increase with enrollment after the showcase. More than 50% of the attendees experiences this art form for the first time. Over 200 people were able to experience our showcase.
