Volunteers need to be at CaDansa from Thursday 14:00 until Sunday 20:00. We expect you to work shifts of approximately 6 hours a day, scheduled by your team captain (who will take your preferences into account). We appreciate it if you also join for festival construction (starting Wednesday 13:00) and/or deconstruction (ending Monday 14:00).
What can you expect in return for your volunteer work? Of course, a whole lot of fun and dancing! But also:

• Full entrance to the festival, to enjoy during and outside your volunteer shifts;
• The official CaDansa t-shirt (which will of course feature this year’s mascot);
• A sleeping place, pending availability;
• Food and drinks during the festival (breakfast and lunch in the volunteer lounge, dinner at our caterer’s).

Volunteer registrations open at the same time as the ticket sales. If you have volunteered at CaDansa in the past two years, you will get an email with an invitation to register two to three weeks earlier.

Please note: many people are interested in volunteering at CaDansa. Registering as a volunteer does not mean you will be guaranteed a spot, but we will get back to you as soon as we can 🙂

This team makes sure that our visitors won’t die of thirst. They sell our wonderful assortment of drinks and snacks to the visitors at one of our two bars.

This team drives artists, volunteers, and visitors who have booked a CaDansa sleeping spot – and sometimes other people or things. If you join this team, you need to have a valid driving license and it is strongly preferred that you come to CaDansa by car. All fuel costs will be reimbursed, of course.

This team keeps our musicians and workshop teachers happy and the artists content in the backstage.

This team sells tickets, tokens, CaDansa-shirts and of course the merchandise of the bands. These can be paid with cash or debit card, and the sales are recorded in a cash register system.

This team helps keep the festival nice and clean. This way, we won’t stick to the dance floor and we’re able to carelessly walk around on our socks 🙂

This team makes sure that Rabo Theater de Meenthe is transformed into a CaDansa wonderland! They meet a couple of times before the festival to make all the wonderful decorations. Since they meet beforehand and work incredibly hard during construction and deconstruction, they’re free to roam around during the festival itself.

This team fixes up visitors, volunteers, musicians, workshop teachers and lost organisers if they’ve got hurt. It is important that you have a valid First Aid certificate when you want to join this team.

This team pampers the muscles of artists and volunteers, so they are able to continue dancing 🙂 It is important that you have demonstrable experience with massage if you want to join this team.

This team makes sure that our daily newsletter, CaDaily, gets published. They collect interesting content, format it, and make sure it gets printed and handed out. They also share the festival fun on the CaDansa social media accounts.

The people in this team prepare and coordinate construction and deconstruction. They are supported by the volunteers from other teams who join for construction and deconstruction. Because of their hard work in advance, the construction coordinators are free to roam around during the festival itself.

This team checks the tickets of the visitors when they arrive, makes sure they get the right wrist band and occasionally makes a round through the building.

This team sets up the sleeping spots, receives volunteers and visitors who have booked a spot through CaDansa, cleans the accommodations, and makes sure everything is neat and tidy at the end of the festival. There will be no night shifts this year, unless agreed in advance with the team captain.

This team makes sure that we’re able to hear the people on stage and that the music sounds as amazing as can be. It is important that you have demonstrable experience with sound engineering if you want to join this team.

This team is ready when they’re needed. Do we suddenly need some more groceries? Does someone need to be taken to a doctor? Did someone in another team become ill? These heroes jump to the task when necessary!

This team loves to point our visitors in the right direction. When does which band play? Where is the bathroom? This team knows the answers to all the questions! As if that isn’t enough, there is also space to safely store your instrument here, which is also managed by this amazing team.

This team makes sure everything goes smoothly during the workshops and makes sure everything is prepared beforehand. Does the sound system work, is there some water ready for the workshop teachers, etc. They may also be asked to help with some small jobs, for example if we forgot to put a table somewhere. If you’ve joined this team, you’re only busy during the workshops and you’re able to see almost everything of the ball.  

Only choose this option when we’ve contacted you beforehand. There are a few jobs that aren’t mentioned in the teams above. Did we ask you to do one of these jobs? Choose this option when signing up 🙂
