During the 9 months, the students will be taught several short dance pieces (around 4 minutes each) to engage them in a variety of ethnic dance styles. The number of dances will be based on how well and how fast they learn each piece. We are expecting 20 students to be enrolled in the classes.Surveys will be given to see how much the students think they have improved since taking the classes. We are anticipating 90% of the students to indicate that their ability to express themselves creatively was enhanced.The students will be taking pre and post surveys to see how well they have mastered the fundatmentals and understand the cultural objectives and the historical significance of the dances. The instructors will evaluate the students based on their performance. The Advisory Committee will be responsible for the audience count. They will also interact with the audience to get post performance feedback.
