  • Come early to help with heavy lifting for Sound setup

  • Sweep the dance floor before the dance

  • Set out fans (and chairs, if needed)

  • Assemble the caller stand

  • Keep the info desk supplied with name tags and markers

  • Sweep the dance floor after the dance

  • Help put away chairs, tables, sound equipment, fans, and caller stand - we must be out of the building by 11 pm!

  • Enjoy a “bit and a bite” at a local eatery after the dance - to celebrate a job well done!

And thank YOU for your support of Atlanta Contra Dance!
