Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

More Minnesotans will pursue ballet education because their needs to participate are met. We will track how many students and audience members need financial assistance to experience or participate in our work, compared to our ability to offer our work at low-to-no cost. 2: Participants will benefit physically, emotionally, and mentally through creative movement. We will administer surveys to participants, families, faculty, and partners to measure impacts on mental/physical health, sense of belonging/community, and aspiration.
