Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through participant surveys we will be seeking an outcome of over 75% saying they learned new skills in dance. We will perform a showcase at Rondo Days before an estimated audience of over 200 persons. Evaluations will be in the form of a 'comment box' that will be made available each class. We'll also offer student means to submit anonymous online surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 75% of the participating student did learn new dance skills. Several were introduced to Stepping for the first time. We taught 25 individuals over the course of the program.
