Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Numbers will be tracked: number of dancers participating, number of audience members attending school and public performances, number of volunteers participating, and finally income to measure cost effectiveness. These reduce barriers to the arts for performers, artists and audience members.The production will be recorded and reviewed by the artistic director, production team, and board of directors. Surveys from parents and students, as well as artistic staff will be compared to prior years to make plans for next season. Audience numbers will be evaluated and determinations for future productions made.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Participation fees did not increase for dancers during the last year of activities. Number of dancers participating increased. Attendance numbers were strong for this production, also for the daytime school performances. School performance ticket prices remained the same for the past three years.
