BDC uses The Avalon by making it available to members and others, primarily for dance events. Importantly, our collective dance community, and especially our members, help to run the Avalon, and keep both the interior and exterior in tip-top shape. Join us in maintaining this wonderful shared asset!
Avalon Work Party—Come support The Avalon and the Boulder Dance Coalition
This community building event takes place approximately one Saturday per season, as is practical. The Avalon Work Party is an excellent way to support the local dance infrastructure, make new friends, learn some new skills and feel a sense of pride and ownership in the development of one of Boulder’s most beloved dance venues. There are many types of jobs, as well as great leadership, and you will be rewarded with a sense of accomplishment. Watch for an email announcing the next work party.
