Cultural Arts Classes Registration Report—2009 2. Cultural Arts Classes Registration Report—2008 RECOMMENDATION: Receive Report FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: The Heritage and Cultural Arts Division develops and implements quality programs that strengthen community image, preserve the City's heritage, provide recreational experiences, and encourage healthy lifestyles. These goals are accomplished by providing diverse cultural program offerings in areas such as music, theatre, dance, and visual arts. Following is a summary of programs conducted during winter 2009. CULTURAL ARTS CLASSES: Cultural Arts Classes are intended to serve customers of all ages and cover a wide range of activities such as Theatre Camps, Dance Camps, Ballet, Piano, Guitar, Country Line Dance, Irish Dance, Drawing and Painting, Kindermusik, and others. Cultural Arts Classes provide an opportunity for participants to attempt new experiences, refine current artistic skills and provide a social setting for meeting new people and sharing cultural arts experiences with friends and family members. Cultural Arts Classes are taught by contracted specialty instructors. Most classes are taught in eight-week sessions but some are more or less than eight weeks and others are offered as one-time workshops. A total of 411 participants registered for Cultural Arts Classes during winter 2009, which was an increase of 3% compared to enrollment for winter 2008. Additionally, seven more classes were held in winter 2009 as compared to winter 2008. The cancellation rate was 10% lower than 2008, as Staff made an effort to purge classes that did not previously meet participation minimums. The average registration per class decreased approximately 1.5 participants per class. Most of the classes that didn't reach minimum enrollments and were canceled were, in some cases, either new classes or new one time workshops. Total revenue from class fees was down slightly this winter, from $35,419 in winter 2008 to $34,475 in 2009. Popular classes included; Hip Hop for Children and Tweens, Belly Dance, Pre-Ballet, Country Line Dance, Guitar for Youth, Dance Like the Stars, Art Experience for Kids, Discover the Artist in You, Irish Dance and Kindermusik.
