At Rise Up School of Dance, our community is built by the generosity of volunteers, partners, and friends who believe in the power of dance to impact lives. Whether you have an hour to give, a skill to share, or a vision to collaborate on, there’s a place for you here!

Volunteer Opportunities

✓ Productions Setup
✓ Studio Maintenance
✓ Costume Making

Bring your talents to our team! We’ve had volunteers help with photography, videography, graphic design, accounting, manual labor, and more. Whatever your gift is—we’d love to find a way to use it.

Help us keep our dancers shining on stage by altering, creating, fitting, tidying, and maintaining our beautiful costumes.


Lend a hand with improvements to our studio— from adding no-slip coating to the floors to helping with maintenance and upkeep. A safe, welcoming studio makes all the difference for our dancers!

Join the excitement of recital days by helping with set-up and tear-down, ushering and greeting guests, or assisting with dancer check-in and check-out.

We love to connect with guest teachers of all dance styles and welcome collaborations with other organizations. Got an idea? Let’s talk! (Reach out to us at shelley@riseupschoolofdance.com.)
