Earthdance Seasonal Staff Program

The Earthdance Seasonal Staff Program is loosely divided among the seasons in three to four month intervals, offering its members an opportunity to immerse in a community focused in the movement and improvisational arts in an alternative environment to the urban landscape. The dynamic schedule of events allows seasonal staff to interact and co-habitate with dancers, artists and performers from all over the world. Volunteers are the main support of the operation of Earthdance, working 25 hours per week in a variety of assigned tasks including housekeeping, office assistance, cooking and grounds maintenance. In exchange, seasonal staff receive:

• Complimentary room (shared) and board.
• Use of dance studios and other Earthdance facilities (when not in use by the rental groups).
• Free participation in community events (jams, performance nights, etc).
• Free 5-day event jams.
• Significant discounts on workshops.

Individuals with backgrounds in computer-tech, carpentry, electrical and/or plumbing are encouraged to apply.
