Volunteering

Dance Experience is a non-profit dance studio and relies on volunteers to ensure a successful season. Parent and student involvement is essential and we value and appreciate your contributions.

To ensure all families are involved with our non-profit studio at a common minimum level, we collect a volunteer commitment deposit. At the time of registration, a deposit of $100.00 for families dancing 3 hours a week or less, or $200.00 for families dancing over 3 hours a week, will be collected. This deposit can be a cheque post-dated to June 15 of the next calendar year so it doesn't stale date, or authorization for a credit card that has an expiration date of July 2025 or later.

The minimum volunteer commitment will be based on the number of hours your family dances each week:

• 3 hours a week or less - required to volunteer for a minimum of two hours in the season.

• Over 3 hours a week - required to volunteer a minimum of four hours in the season.

When your family has completed the required volunteer hours, your cheque or credit card authorization will be destroyed. Should your family opt not to volunteer, your cheque will be cashed at the end of the season. 

Please note that the volunteer commitment fee was established primarily to ensure there are enough volunteers for Talent Day and the Year End Shows. The number of volunteers needed varies from year to year and due to the small size of our studio, we require volunteers in order to continue to provide quality events. 

Not all volunteer tasks count toward the volunteer commitment requirement. Activities that may NOT count towards volunteer hours include casinos, office/studio volunteers, fundraising, flyer delivery, committee time, and any training time required to fulfill volunteer roles. Requests for assistance will be sent through email. 

We are using SignUp.com to organize volunteers for our events throughout the year.
