Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

By providing a funded tap dance class in the two summer sessions of elementary school we plan to provide a quality enrichment program for the entire school estimated to be between 300-400 per session who range in age from pre-kindergarten to fourth grade; students will get to take a dance class a minimum of five times and a maximum of ten times per session, a dedicated room will be provided by the school administration and scheduling will happen in collaboration with licensed instructors' needs and priorities, the artist develops a schedule based on a first come first served basis. We expect to provide the 1st dance class to over 96% of the population served and will build on developed relationships with principals and faculty to encourage the participation of all students based on recommendations and reports of past experience. Evaluation methods include but are not limited to: demographic statistics and attendance records of students participating, involvement and interest by summer school teachers who choose to bring students to tap class and finally the level of engagement and daily exit slips of students.
