The Prince George Dance Festival is a volunteer run organization. Many volunteers work behind the scenes all year long to make this long-standing festival a success.
We rely upon each participating Prince George based dance studio to provide a minimum number of volunteers to work at the festival each year. This number is based upon the number of participants from each studio.
Volunteering can be a fun and rewarding experience! We could not run this festival without YOU!
Thank you in advance for your help!
