Attachment 2 <br />PROGRAM SNAPSHOT <br />Although participation can fluctuate year to year, dance participation has been on a consistent <br />upward trend since 2019. <br /> <br />Youth Dance: <br /> 219 unique participants (60% Roseville residents) <br /> Many participate in multiple sessions per year <br /> 2024 Revenue: $51,458 | Expenses: $35,735 <br /> 2025 Budget: Revenue $52,000 | Expenses $28,700 <br /> Classes run six daysper week during the school year and three or four days per week <br />during the summer months. <br />Adult Dance & Wellness: <br /> 107 total registrants (72% Roseville residents) <br /> Includes Adult Hula (35 participants), Tap, and wellness-focused classes <br /> <br />RENTAL SPACE CONSIDERATION <br />While a suitable rental space may be found, it would likely be less functionally advantageous <br />than a purpose-built, City-owned facility. To effectively serve the program, anyrental space <br />would need to be significantly modified for dance including installation of a dance floor, <br />mirrors, bars, decent acoustics, and ideally, some sound proofing. <br /> <br />Additionally, the space would need to have some office space, restrooms, and room flow to <br />allow parents to drop participants off without interfering with the class. Finally, the space would <br />need to be conveniently located, have adequate parking, and have some assurance of continuity. <br /> <br />NEW SPACE CONSIDERATIONS <br />It is important to note that the desire for a new dance studio is based almost entirely on the loss <br />of the current dance studio location, not a desire for drastic upgrades. However, the construction <br />of a new space that is primarily for dance offers a number of opportunities and would certainly <br />be the most advantageous option for the dance program. <br /> <br /> Higher Quality Dance Participant Experience: The current space is a retrofitted <br />commercial space that is undersized, has a challenging room layout (long and narrow), <br />and is not sufficiently soundproofed. Construction of new space provides an opportunity <br />to correct these issues and offer a higher quality experience for dancers. Specifically, it <br />is envisioned that a new space could allow for: <br />o Larger class sizes <br />o More class offerings <br />o The opportunity to add additional dance disciplines <br />o An opportunity for parents to observe their participants without disrupting class <br />and other participants. <br /> <br /> Versatile Space for Other Activities: A city owned and designed space could be used <br />for other activities such as yoga/wellness, gathering/meeting space, music courses and <br />more. However, it is important to note that we should not design the space so broadly <br />that it no longer well-suits dance. Elements like mirrors, bars, and cushioned floors are <br />essential to dance and should not be sacrificed for versatility. <br /> <br /> Page 2 <br />Qbhf!61!pg!488 <br /> <br />
