The 15th Annual Star of the North DanceSport Competition will be here soon and we sure could use your help. The event is on Saturday February 25th and Sunday February 26th, and is located at the Marriot Minneapolis West Hotel, 9960 Wayzata Blvd., St. Louis Park, MN 55426 (near Hwy 394 & Hwy 169).
For volunteer purposes, the weekend has been divided into segments of time called shifts. The shift times may be subject to slight changes and individual volunteers’s participation times can be flexible if they have conflicts. Saturday is divided into 3 shifts and Sunday is divided into 2 shifts.
Saturday Morning 6:30AM –12:30PM
Saturday Afternoon 12:30PM – 6:00PM (Dinner Break)
Saturday Evening 6:30PM – End (Approx. 11:00PM)
Sunday Morning 7:30AM – 12:30PM
Sunday Afternoon 12:30PM –End (Approx. 5:30PM)
Volunteer duties include ticket sellers, on-deck captain, coat check, judge/award assistant and a few other tasks. Sometimes volunteers rotate so that everyone gets lots of opportunity to see the competition.
Volunteers get a special benefit. When they’re not volunteering, they can attend the SOTN competition FREE of charge. Snacks and beverages will be available for sale. If you wish, bring your camera and dance shoes.
Some volunteers do more than 1 shift and a few of them have even been known to sneak away for a few minutes to participate in a competition heat.
Volunteering is a great way for non competitors to participate in the event. You’ll help our USA Dance-MN Chapter, meet lots of people, see some great competitive dancing and maybe do some general dancing yourself.
Email your contact info (Name and Phone Number) and available shift time(s) to volunteers@usadance-mn.org We need to hear from you ASAP.
Thanks from all of us at USA Dance-MN.
