Step up and Volunteer!

We are always in need of volunteer helpers! In addition to the dance series Leadership Roles below, we have volunteer sign-up sheets for "dance night duties" for each dance in the season. Please find the sign-up sheets at the admissions desk at each monthly dance. Contact cpcda-info<remove this and replace with at-sign>comcast.net if you are interested in helping in any large or small way.
