In 2010 the Ponderosa TanzLand Festival offers several work exchange opportunities for those who would like to participate in the various workshops in exchange for good hard work. Stolzenhagen's rough and raw conditions require people who have stamina and patience as everything here just takes a little longer to accomplish. For example, the studios have no running water, the bathrooms are outdoor compost toilets, and carrying the vacuum cleaner from one studio to another requires time and strength! So we ask that you consider what you are capable of before signing up!

The exchange is based on the work you do and how much you would like to participate in the different workshops. We do this on a personal basis and some things may be tailored or altered to your situation once you join the team and are attending the festival. We are looking for the most satisfying experience for everyone. It is possible to join us for the entire summer. We give priority to those who are able to commit for a longer timeperiod, but two weeks is the minimum, with one week help and one week dance. It is not possible to participate in a intensive workshop and be a full time helper during the same week. Take a careful look at the program and make a proposal - we will come up with a solution together. If you are a skilled cook for groups and you dont want to dance in exchange please contact us to make other arrangements.

we are looking especially for experienced cooks in July and August 2010!
