BRATTLEBORO — As preparations continue for this year's Second Annual Southern Vermont Dance Festival, slated for July 17-20, the organization is seeking volunteers to handle a variety of tasks, from event organizing to set-up to clean-up.
“The Festival couldn't have pulled off last year's event without the many, many, wonderful volunteers who were ready to pitch in no matter the task,” said Brenda Siegel, the event's executive director.
Depending on the task and the amount of volunteer time available, SVDF will contribute a full four-day pass for volunteering for pre-event, event set-up, and clean-up. For those volunteering before and during the event, SVDF will provide access to classes and performances.
Volunteers can also “just want to come to a performance or just want to help,” Siegel said, adding that early commitment will help organizers accommodate a volunteer's schedule and preferred jobs.
SVDF also seeks host families for some of its faculty and choreographers. Host families will need to provide a private room and access to cooking and washroom facilities. To offer your home, write [email protected].
The Southern Vermont Dance Festival takes place in eight venues over four days in Brattleboro, and will offer more than 100 classes, with many performances from informal to formal. SVDF also will offer free community events for four days throughout town.
