Contra dance doesn’t happen without volunteer energy!

The core organizers of Portland Intown Contra Dance are volunteers—from board members to coordinators of volunteers and artist housing, to event helpers.

VOLUNTEER Each event, we rely on key roles:

  • Greeters and shoe monitors

  • Set up and clean up

We also book helpers for special events and short-term projects.

DANCE FREE THE NIGHT YOU HELP All event volunteers help for 45 minute shifts (about thee dances long). If you’re new to it, a dance manager will train you when you arrive for your shift. We book all event volunteer slots through the form below, which allows you to modify and cancel as you need. The form also sends email reminders.

Volunteers dance free the event they help. ❤️ At every dance, we rely on:

  • Greeters to welcome folks and collect donations. They are helpful and friendly, putting people at ease!

  • Shoe monitors to assist dancers with questions and help protect the historic dance floor.

  • Set up volunteers to help us ensure the sound system is in place and the hall is prepped for delight!
