About
Feel the Beat is a Colorado-based 501c3 nonprofit and dance studio dedicated to making the experience of dance and music possible for all including those who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and/or with or without disabilities. So much more than a dance studio, Feel the Beat is for all skill levels, ages, and abilities. We offer a variety of class options including weekly classes, private group classes, school programs as well as accessible events. Through our programming, we aim to engage students’ senses, strengthen muscle groups, improve coordination, and teach the fundamentals of music, dance principles, and choreography while connecting to the music through our bone conduction vibrational dance floor!
We are looking for volunteers who can help run our vendor booth at community events around the Denver Metro Area. If you are a creative and value the meaningful impact of movement and play then this volunteer role is for you!
Responsibilities for events include:
-Picking up event bin from our studio prior to the day of event
-Setting up the booth with our programming materials
-Sharing and talking to the public about what we do at FTB
-Tearing down and packing up event bin
-Communicating with the event coordinator about details for event
-Responding to emails sent out to volunteers about upcoming events
There are no set time commitments for this role, but we are looking for individuals who would be available to volunteer for one event, once a month. Events are scheduled in advanced with ample time. Most events are on a Saturday or Sunday during the morning or afternoon. Occasionally there are evening events. Events range from 3-5 hours and we will schedule two volunteers for any longer events For more details and interest, please reach out to info@feelthebeat.dance
