Moving in the Spirit is an award-winning creative youth development program. We use the discipline of dance to help children and teens develop the skills they need to thrive.
On May 7th, 2026, we’re presenting our year-end performance, PRESS PLAY: Moving in the Spirit Edition, at the prestigious Rialto Center for the Arts at Georgia State University.
Our young dancers work tremendously hard throughout the year to create this production, and they need your help behind the scenes to make the show a success!
We are seeking volunteers to fulfill the following roles:
Greeters: Welcome and direct guests, providing basic information such as restroom location. May also assist with crowd control and activities in the lobby.
Ticketing: Assist with distributing complimentary tickets to VIP guests.
Ushers: Pass out programs, assist guests with seating, provide direction to guests regarding late and reserved seating.
Backstage Classroom Support: Assist Teaching Artists with monitoring and coordinating students backstage. Simple set up and breakdown of the craft table. May assist dancers with costuming, makeup, and hair.
Set Up and Break Down: Assist our Program Team with gathering, organizing and moving needed supplies (such as costumes, props, and snacks) to and from the vans used to pick up and drop off items between The Rialto and Moving in the Spirit.
Note: Volunteers interested in assisting with backstage classroom support must commit to attending our tech rehearsal on May 6th and the performance on May 7th. Attending the dress rehearsal on May 4th-5th at Moving in the Spirit is optional but helpful!
