do you want to volunteer and help make this event extra special?

As you know, most events can't run without the help of volunteers. We would be incredibly grateful if you could dedicate a couple of hours of your time over the weekend to help. We would also love to hear from you if you have the ability to host dancers from interstate while they're in Canberra or have any other skills you’d like to share with us (decorating?).

What we need your help with

  • We will have 3 nights of live music for your listening pleasure, but these need a lot of work to set up and pack up. While we certainly won't be asking you to lift heavy equipment, we would be thankful if you could help with some set up requirements: tables, chairs, decorations where applicable. Running some cables might also be key. If you have experience setting up for bands, we would love to have you!

  • Door people are the faces of the events, right? We all remember those welcoming faces when we first come through the doors, the people who greet you and tell you everything you need to know. If that's something you would like to help with, let us know. You wouldn't be needed for more than a couple of hours over the weekend, with shifts no longer than 45 minutes long so you get plenty of time to dance too!

  • We know it's Canberra. What does spare room even mean? But you might have an air mattress or a couch and if you are happy to offer these to some people coming from interstate, we are certain they would be grateful. Unless you know who to get in contact with already and have made plans, we are happy to facilitate matching people together. Get in touch!

  • Are you someone people trust and confide to? Do you enjoy making sure all your friends are having the best of time and are taken care of? Do you have confidence in resolving conflict? If so, we would love to hear from you. We will have safe spaces/safety officers throughout the weekend to make sure everyone is as comfortable and safe as possible.

    We will also be running a quick training exercise to make sure you’re comfortable with this role (online available too).

  • Do you love spreadsheets and scheduling and don't mind a bit of interaction with other dancers? Then this role would be perfect for you.

    We're looking for someone who would be keen to help us make sure the set-up, pack up and door shifts are covered all weekend long.

    We promise this not to be too burdensome and will only consist of asking sure everyone knows when they're supposed to be available.
