Volunteer at Dance City
One of our most important aims is to make a positive difference in people’s lives through dance. And you can help!
There are a number of ways to volunteer at Dance City and you can give as much or as little of your time as you want to, with flexibility around days and times – it’s really easy to get involved.
In turn, we hope volunteering will help you to develop new skills and interests, meet friendly, like-minded people, gain confidence and a sense of well-being, and even strengthen your CV.
We want all our volunteers to have an enjoyable and rewarding time and to feel part of the team that delivers a world class service to the communities of the North East and beyond.
So why not come and join us?
