Measurable Outcome(s)

Because of Covid-19, O?Shaughnessy Auditorium was closed to the public. By request of students and parents, we changed our plan to online performance. We hired software engineers to help us for each program rehearsal video with the board of directors? approval. Then we rented Fridley Community Education?s theater for the final dress rehearsal. Then followed the program list online performance. It turned out surprisingly good and we had about 2000 viewers in 3 days. Now we are invited to post-perform some of the show program on Sep. 26, 2021 at Mall of America hosted by Mall of America, Hmong, Vietnam and Chinese communities for Moon Festival. The evaluation covers the following areas: Artistic direction (To satisfy the dancers both technically and emotionally, and as well as targeted audiences); unfortunately we could not sell tickets; community, audiences, volunteers, students and parents feedback and suggestions; selective interviews by the board of directors. Suggestions is archived
