The Importance of Volunteers:
Volunteers play a critical role in the development and viability of Ballet Victoria. Volunteers’ dedication to the art of ballet is key to bringing artistic works to the community and keeping dancers in touch with their audiences.
Our volunteers contribute in a major way to the success of new programs as they communicate the needs of the community to funding authorities.
Volunteers contribute professionally to multiple teams, transferring knowledge and skills to future generations, ensuring the ongoing support to the art of ballet.
