Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Young Dance activities will reach 15% more participants through new class locations, special workshops and performances. We will track numbers of participants in our classes, workshops and performances and garner information as to what made the activity accessible (location, fee, interest, etc.). 2: Young Dance will establish structure by which to mentor emerging dance artists in teaching, especially in adaptive dance programs. Young Dance will document who assists, teaches or works with the company as a guest artist to track the number of artists working in a teaching capacity for Young Dance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

A significant increase in outreach activities helped us to more than double the number of participants. We tracked attendance records in classes, workshops and performances. Significant increase in participants is largely due to increase in number of outreach opportunities that we offer in partnership with other organizations. 2: Still developing. Steps made towards this goal are a documented curriculum and evaluation method, and initial orientation for all teaching artists. We documented all instructors and guest artists with any program. 75% of instructors were continuing, 25% were new in 2015. Through our mentoring structure, we place great value on these ongoing relationships.
