Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To promote and preserve a wealth of Filipino cultural heritage, and to share the Filipino community and our traditions to our fellow Minnesotans. We will solicit audience feedback through a post-performance survey. We intend to find from the evaluation how we have reached our target audience in terms of numbers and the level of entertainment and educational value they get from the production. 2: We hope to pass on to our children and students the colorful dances and traditions that are part of our identity as a people. We will solicit audience feedback as well as monitor the number of children that become part of our organization and attend our cultural events in the future.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Ten dances were fully recorded at high quality and production value. From this we will be able to produce shareable videos for online presentation. Four dances have been presented; two each on two different occasions for on-line events: Both events were Zoomed live. CSFA's presentations resulted in positive feedback from the producer of the events. No other metric was employed.
