Join our Work|Exchange program
Dance Exchange strives to build reciprocal relationships with entrepreneurs and artists who are seeking discounted studio space for their programming. Work|Exchange participants partner with Dance Exchange staff to determine and execute work at our building, known as the Community & Creative Hub, in exchange for discounted studio space. The work at the Hub consists of stewardship (cleaning and maintaining the building spaces) and ensuring a safe and welcoming environment. The exchange rate is set at the City of Takoma Park living wage (currently $17.05 an hour), and we seek participants who can provide 5-10 hours/week with morning and evening availability. To learn more about our ongoing Work|Exchange program, please email creativehub@danceexchange.org.
