Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Teens, ages 12-19, will compete in a poetry slam competition and be entertained by the rhythm of dance and words.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The breakdancers were incredible! They got the crowd involved as four dancers took turns moving to the music for a half-hour performance in direct sun. The audience of diverse ages (the youngest was 18 months; the oldest was a senior citizen) all were transfixed by the performance.
