Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Our short term goal is to provide jazz music as concert listening and dancing entertainment to the public. Our long term goal is to establish a place for jazz appreciation in the cultural fabric of the community. We will measure the entertainment value of the project by recording the total attendance, the percentage of dancers, local people, and tourists. We will survey the attendees on their interest in future jazz concerts or dances.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Attendance 117. Dancing attendees-- 40. Tourists-- 29. Percent of tunes where dancing occurred-- 90%. Maximum number of dancers on any tune-- 40. Minimum number of dancers on any tune-- 4.
