Dance Assistant - Studio 140 Dance Academy

Somerset Hills YMCA

Dance Assistant Volunteers support instructors and coaches during dance classes, rehearsals, performances, special events, etc. Responsibilities include helping with studio setup and cleanup, assisting dancers with counts, formations, and choreography when directed, and promoting a positive, respectful, and inclusive learning environment. Volunteers serve as role models, follow staff instructions, and help ensure classes and events run smoothly. Session Commitment: Volunteers are asked to commit to the full program session for their selected day and time. Consistent volunteer participation helps create familiarity and a sense of comfort for dance programming participants while also providing instructors with a reliable and familiar volunteer partner each week. Occasional absences are understandable, but volunteers should plan to participate regularly throughout the session.
